This book examines the methodologies, theories and philosophical perspectives that lend themselves to research about emotions. It discusses the implications of investigating emotions in early childhood on the researcher, as a person, scholar and professional and considers what language is appropriate in research about emotions, the impact the research has and what remains un-researchable in this area. Drawing on the author's experience of qualitative research about love in early childhood, the book explores different theoretical frameworks, philosophical perspectives and methodological approaches to develop a broad and contemporary understanding of the topic.
