In this volume academic and researchers from across disciplines
including education, psychology and health studies come together to
discuss personal, political and professional narratives of
struggle, resilience and hope. Contributors draw from a rich body
of auto-biographical research examining the role of narrative and
how it can be constructed, considering the roles of significant
others, inspirational, educational and fiction characters, as well
as myth and legend, to compose a life story. The book discusses how
personal narrative, often neglected in social and psychological
enquiry, can be a valuable resource across a range of settings.
Reference is made to the evolving role of narrative in studies of
educational process, in health and other forms of professional
practice, and in psychotherapy. The book also includes examples
that go beyond words, demonstrating other ways of representing
lives through research, using art, fiction and poetry. Rather than
providing a 'how to' guide, this book illustrates the range of work
possible using narrative.Each chapter outlines a specific study,
describes the context, explains the methodology and illuminates
important findings with examples from the research. Further
implication for research and practice are also discussed making
this book important reading for postgraduate and doctoral students,
those teaching research methods, as well as academics and
researchers developing biographical and auto/biographical narrative
research. The text will appeal to those from a range of disciplines
including education, health and social care, counselling and
psychotherapy.
