In this volume, academics and researchers 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 to examine the role of narrative and
how it can be constructed to compose a life story, considering the
roles of significant others, inspirational, educational and
fictional characters, and those in myth and legend. 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
education and health care, medicine and psychotherapy. This
includes how particular narratives are hardwired into culture in
ways that stifle personal and social understanding. Rather than
providing a 'how to' guide, the book illustrates the range and
power of narrative, including poetry, to re-awaken senses of self
and agency in extremis. Each chapter draws on specific research,
describing the context, explaining the methodology, and
illuminating important findings. Discussing implications for
research and practice, this book will be key reading for
postgraduate and doctoral students in auto/biographical and
narrative studies, and across a range of disciplines, including
education, health and social care, politics, counselling and
psychotherapy. It will be of interest to academics teaching
research methods, and those developing biographical and
auto/biographical narrative research.
