About This Book

This book foregrounds the importance of narrative as a conceptual paradigm for understanding mental health issues, presenting stories as an alternative source of knowledge and expression. At the same time, the volume acknowledges potential limitations of narrative paradigms, especially when these are coupled with normative expectations of truthfulness, coherence, and comprehensiveness.
