Identity And Story Creating Self in Narrative

"An increasing number of psychologists argue that people 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. This volume addresses the most important and difficult issues in the study of narrative identity, including questions of unity and multiplicity in stories, the controversy over individual versus societal authorship of stories, and the extent to which stories typically show stability or growth in the narrator."--BOOK JACKET.McAdams, Dan P. is the author of 'Identity And Story Creating Self in Narrative', published 2006 under ISBN 9781591473565 and ISBN 159147356X.
