| Summary: | "An increasing number of psychologists argue that people give meaning to their lives by constructing and internalizing self-defining stories.

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."--Jacket. |
