" I can imagine that convincing psychologists to put pen to paper
to construct narratives of their own lives, revealing stories about
significant influences in their personal and professional
identities was no easy feat. Yancy and Hadley have done just this,
and their edited book offers a fascinating way to gain greater
insight into the theoretical ideas of key psychologists through
their self-construction." - Psychologist `...There is much to be
inspired by, to reflect upon, to learn from, and to understand from
a thorough reading of this book.' - Nordic Journal of Music Therapy
`A collection of papers in which psychologists from assorted
theoretical orientations take part in an exercise to discover how
they came to be the `particular epistemic agents they have become'.
Narrative, social constructionist, feminist, postmodernist,
poststructuralist, hermeneutic, existential, phenomenological,
humanistic, critical, psychoanalytic, performative, social
therapeutic - they are all here.' - Journal of Analytical
Psychology `Thirteen leading psychologists offer personal
reflections on their professional identities within the context of
their larger social lives. Their conceptions of self hood are
examined through the lens of the theoretical presuppositions used
in their daily work. These include narrative, feminist, social
constructionist, postmodernist, hermeneutic, critical,
poststructuralist, humanistic, and psychoanalytical therapeutic
approaches'. - Book News `What a fascinating and illuminating work!
Yancy and Hadley have succeeded in stimulating a group of
accomplished narratologists in psychology...to deliberate on the
ways in which their life experiences are related to their scholarly
explorations of narrative. The authors...grace us with illuminating
and articulate insights into the close linkages between personal
and intellectual development.' - Ken Gergen, Mustin Professor of
Psychology, Swarthmore College, Pennsylvania, and Mary Gergen,
Professor of Psychology & Women's Studies, Penn State
University, Delaware `I found Yancy and Hadley's collection of
intellectual autobiographies a rich source for understanding and
insight into the lives and innovations of the psychologists who are
leading the development of the new approaches in psychology.' -
Donald E. Polkinghorne, PhD, Attallah Chair of Humanistic
Psychology, University of Southern California In this thoughtful
collection, thirteen eminent psychologists from diverse schools of
thought - including social constructionism, narrative psychology,
feminism, phenomenology and psychoanalysis - examine their
professional identities in the context of their personal
biographies. The contributors address challenging questions about
identity in relation to personality development, language and
socialisation. They demonstrate how their cultural and historical
contexts influenced their theoretical approaches to the nature of
`self' and how these ideas in turn shaped how they perceive their
personal histories. This unique insight into the lives of highly
influential psychologists is a valuable reference and compelling
reading for psychologists reflecting on their professional
practice, and for anyone investigating issues of selfhood and
identity from a psychological or philosophical perspective.
