This site focuses upon narrative perspectives in psychology and allied disciplines and provides an introductory and interdisciplinary guide to bibliographical and Internet resources concerned with "the storied nature of human conduct" (Sarbin, 1986) broadly conceived. Narrative in psychology itself has developed particularly notable links with the emergent discipline of cultural psychology (Bruner, 1990).
Keywords: narrative, narrative psychology, discourse analysis, discursive turn, story, storytelling, cultural and cross-cultural psychology, social science, qualitative research, social constructivism, constructionism, role theory, dramaturgy, dramatism, postmodernism, critical realism, pedgagogy, dialogism, dialogical science.

Visitors will note that I have not updated this site in any significant way for the last couple of years. By way of explanation, I am working on a book dealing with the narrative perspective in psychology. I look forward to the book appearing sometime in late 2009 or in 2010. In the meantime, I do not have the time to do any editing here. If and when I do resume work on this Guide, I hope to do so using either a wiki technology or, minimally, an html approach that will not require hand coding of the entries (as the current site does).
