68 = USING INTERPRETATIVE PHENOMENOLOGICAL ANALYSIS learn how to apply the Voice Hearing Method. The Voice Hearing Method was translated by Mérey (2013) to Hungarian from study materials of the HVM (see Intervoice, 2017). These study materials, which consist of information about voice hearing and the Voice Hearing Method as well as stories of people who live with voices, are available for all self-help group participants. To collect data, the study interviewer made an appointment with each participant. Semi-structured interviews were conducted. The initial question was a broad, generative narrative question: ‘I would like to ask you to tell me freely about your life, and especially your psychic disorders, problems or difficulties and about the recovery”. The participants narrated their stories differently. Some of them thought there was an expectation to talk in logical, coherent narratives and others talked in time fragments and did not have a complete recovery story. The length of interviews was between 38 and 77 minutes. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. 5.2.3. Data analysis ‘The interviews were analysed using IPA (this method is applicable for research on complex and dynamic topics Chin et al., 2009; Rosen et al., 2015; Smith et al., 2009), which involves working with a small sample size so that each case may be analysed in great detail. Six interviews were rich enough in descriptive and interpretative narratives to be included in the analysis. Small sample was also applied in previous IPA studies (Chin et al., 2009; de Wet et al., 2014; Mawson, Berry, Murray, & Hayward, 2011). Double hermeneutics were used to explore how the participant interpreted their own experiences. The text transcript was analysed and primary themes, keywords and notes were identified. After active re-reading, emerging themes were characterised. By merging the emerging themes, master themes were defined and were illustrated with quotes from participants (who were assigned pseudonyms) (Smith et al., 2009; Smith & Osborn, 2007). According to Rodham et al. (2015), reliability of the IPA analysis could be ensured if conducted by multiple authors who are familiar with the research process and the method of IPA. Thus, all five authors participated in the analysis and reached consensus on emerging and master themes. 5.3. RESULTS During the analysis, four master themes emerged: (1) the role of the voice; (2) the relationship between the voice and T’; (3) the role of the self-help group and (4) the role of the voice hearing method.
