It will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students in psychology and related disciplines, as well as to readers, academic and otherwise, interested in the dynamics of self-understanding. Rewriting the Self deals with important but difficult ideas in an accessible and engaging way. Among the issues addressed are the relationship of rewriting the self to the concept of development, the place of language in the construction of selfhood, the difference between living and telling about it, the problem of facts in life history narrative, the significance of the unconscious in interpreting the personal past, and the freedom of the narrative imagination. Mark Freeman draws upon selected, mainly autobiographical, literary texts in order to examine concretely the process of rewriting the self.
Drawing on the lives of such notable figures as St Augustine, Helen Keller and Philip Roth as well as on the combined insights of psychology, philosophy and literary theory, the book sheds light on the intricacies and dilemmas of self interpretation in particular and interpretive psychological enquiry more generally. Rewriting the Self explores the process by which individuals reconstruct the meaning and significance of past experience. fotnoter samlet i egen seksjon i slutten av boka (notes).Epilogue - Toward a poetics of life history Chapter 6 - The primal scenes of selfhood
