Abstract: The aim of this article is to identify the methododological and epistemological challenges of conducting a Longitudinal Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The main arguement is that longitudinal phenomenological designs raise potential analytical pitfalls for the researacher. Drawing on a two year study of patients experiences of Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) the author discusses a priori theorising, emotional involvement and refers to reflexivity and the role of phenomenological analytical strategies such as the hermaneutic circle and bracketing.
