Phenomenal field theory is a contribution to the psychology of personality proposed by Donald Snygg and Arthur W. Combs.[1][2] According to this theory, all behavior is determined by the conscious self, described as "the phenomenal field" of the behaving organism, and can only be understood if the researcher sees the world through the individual's eyes and mind. As the saying goes "You cannot understand a person until you've walked a mile in their shoes".
