Description

In Identity and Story: Creating Self in Narrative, the fourth volume in theseries "The Narrative Study of Lives," Dan P. McAdams, Ruthellen Josselson,and Amia Lieblich bring together an interdisciplinary and international group of creative researchers and theorists to examine the way the stories we tell create our identities. An increasing number of psychologists argue that people living in modern societies give meaning to their lives by constructing and internalizing self-defining stories. The contributors to this volume explore how, beginning in adolescence and young adulthood, our narrative identities become the stories we live by.
