The Narrative Self

Catalog description

Examines the concept of identity as a narrative of self, a life story of one’s reconstructed past, perceived present and anticipated future. What does this internalized story reveal about the individual? What is the developmental trajectory by which it is created and edited throughout the lifespan? How do societal dominant narratives shape it? How does its content and structure relate to wellness and meaning in life? Employs the methods of narrative psychology to collect and examine life stories.
