Abstract: When conducting qualitative research into areas of transpersonal interest, one's participants or co-researchers are likely to make some startling claims. How is the qualitative analyst to handle these? There are a range of options, some certainly more appropriate than others. I will examine this question using examples from my work with Western practitioners of Buddhism in the UK.
