Explore the tensions and tenderness between fathers and sons in
this masterpiece of narrative psychology "We live in a story-shaped
world," as the editors say, and Between Fathers and Sons: Critical
Incident Narratives in the Development of Men's Lives shows how the
stories we construct come to shape our perceptions of the world and
of ourselves. The incidents recounted here are more than just
moving, funny, or painful stories of fathers and sons. Each is a
myth that helped form the authors'social and moral identity. This
blend of feeling and intellect, story and analysis makes Between
Fathers and Sons a work of art as well as a work of psychology. The
contributors--many of them pioneers of narrative therapy--bring
unique insight to bear on their own stories. Using a broad array of
narrative forms, from the soliliquy to the multiple narrator, they
explore and analyze themes of silence, mystery, respect, sports,
self-reliance, and longing for continuity. In the stories you will
find in Between Fathers and Sons: a father's disappointed silence
is transformed as it resonates through four generations a Korean
immigrant faces the differences between his ideals of fatherhood
and his son's American view a father-son fishing trip ends with the
biggest fish ever--or no fish at all betrayed by his stepfather, a
boy seeks guidance from stories of his dead father a Baptist
preacher helps his son make an agonizing choice a grown man's
memory of a childhood event gives him new insight into his father's
identity and their relationship Between Fathers and Sons is a
landmark volume in father-son relationships and in narrative
therapy. It is destined to become a classic in the field.
