Unexpected Findings of a Female Team in Xochimilco, Mexico
Carolina Martínez-Salgado
Department of Health Care at Autonomous Metropolitan University, Mexico., msoc1298{at}cueyatl.uam.mx
This is a reflection about the methodological circumstances that led the author to certain unexpected information during the course of a qualitative approach to the perception of health problems of a group of poor families in the south of Mexico City. Special attention is paid to the influence of the research team composition (four women with different professional backgrounds, ages, marital statuses, and styles of personal interaction) and the psychoanalytic technique that influenced the study. The inclusion of people of different ages, professions, and personality traits proved extremely valuable both as a means of widening the possibilities for empathetic relations between the research group and the population studied and for increasing the shades of meaning that the team was able to capture.
