This book contains excerpts of life stories from 118 individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and major depressive disorder. This library of personal narratives, heavily reproduced and quoted throughout the text, presents a composite image of the ways in which narrative identity can be affected by mental illness while also being a resource for personal recovery. Those researching, studying, or practicing in mental health professions will find a wealth of humanizing first-person perspectives on mental illness that foster perspective-taking and aid patient-centered treatment and study. Researchers of narrative psychology will find a unique set of life stories synthesized with existing literature on identity and recovery. Moving toward intervention, the authors include a ‘guide for narrative repair’ with the aim of healing narrative identity damage and fostering growth of adaptive narrative identity.

 

  • Provides readers with mental illness (and their close relations) with a variety of narratives that they can employ in understanding their own experiences
  • Provides healthcare students and professionals with first-person perspectives on mental illness, beneficial for patient-centered treatment
  • Proposes a narrative identity intervention
