Family Narratives and the Development of an Autobiographical Self: Social and Cultural Perspectives on Autobiographical Memory

by Robyn Fivush

Book Overview

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.
