Abstract
This article presents a Heideggerian hermeneutic interpretation of findings from an interdisciplinary, transmethodological study addressing the questions, ‘What does it mean to experience methamphetamine addiction? What does it mean to recover?’ Study aims, to: (1) uncover the meaning of addiction and recovery via case intensive analysis, and (2) generate an interdisciplinary, transmethodology for understanding complex healthcare problems, were intended to stimulate a deeper understanding of the experience of addiction and recovery through an innovative methodological approach. Scholars from Nursing, English, Teaching and Learning, and Fine Arts contributed to the analysis. This article presents the hermeneutic interpretation of the transmethodological study.
