商品簡介
Seventeen academics from the U.S., Israel, and Japan contribute 12 chapters demonstrating the potential for narrative analysis to present new insights on human relationships. The authors use a range of narrative modes of inquiry to describe and then conceptualize significant aspects of interpersonal experience, including inductive interpretation of novels and biographies, coding of structured interviews, discourse analysis of an Internet forum, and thematic readings of interview-derived texts to arrive at some higher level of abstraction or understanding within a theoretical framework. They show how relationships with others affect human processes such as acculturation, racial identity development, secure attachment, career choice, caregiving, and grief. For therapists, researchers, and students of developmental, personality, and clinical psychology. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
