Description

This introductory textbook presents a coherent overview of the theory, methodology and potential application of narrative psychological approaches. It compares narrative psychology with other social constructionist approaches and argues that the experience of self only takes on meaning through specific linguistic, historical and social structures. The author shows how the choice of one narrative over another – for example arising out of dominant narrative structures of power and control – can have serious social and psychological implications for the construction of images of self, responsibility, blame and morality.
