Stories are central to our world. We form our families, our
communities, and our nations through stories. It is through stories
of our everyday experiences that each of us constructs an
autobiographical self, a narrative identity, that confers a sense
of coherence and meaning to our individual lives. In this volume,
Robyn Fivush describes how this deeply personal autobiographical
self is socially and culturally constructed. Family Narratives and
the Development of an Autobiographical Self demonstrates that,
through participating in family reminiscing, in which adults help
children learn the forms and functions of talking about the past,
young children come to understand and evaluate their experiences,
and create a sense of self defined through individual and family
stories that provide an anchor for understanding self, others, and
the world. Fivush draws on three decades of research, from her own
lab and from others, to demonstrate the critical role that family
stories and family storytelling play in child development and
outcome. This volume is essential reading for students and
researchers interested in psychology, human development, and family
studies.
