摘要:What is the story of becoming a psychologist? How does one’s narrative of self interact with – perhaps even create – one’s theoretical position as a psychologist even as that theoretical position simultaneously creates that very narrative of self? Yancy and Hadley set out to explore these and other questions in their 2005 edited collection Narrative Identities: Psychologists Engaged in Self-Construction inviting prominent psychologists to present narratives of their evolving individual and professional selves. Exploring the narratives of psychologists holds particular coherence as psychologists deal in narratives! However, the psychologist’s own narrative is typically conspicuously silent, with the impact of the psychologist’s narrative on his or her interactions with clients left unexplored.
