Description

This paper first discusses the self-story and storytelling in clinical psychology from the viewpoint of "living the self-story" while referring to the spatial image. Before the self-story is generated, it is necessary to gather experiences through contact with the world, tracing the line between the experiences, and telling the self-story to another person. Therefore, the self-story is not a static, closed, and immutable one in which the self-story is separated by the storyteller, but is generated dynamically by the interaction between the subject and the environment, while being influenced by social, cultural, and historical contexts. Second, this paper also discusses the discontinuity and dissociation of the self-story, as well as its twists and breaks. By examining these formats of stories, this paper attempts to recapture psychopathology as a problem on the process of "living in the self-story." It is suggested that understanding psychopathology as a problem that occurs in the dynamic process of self-story generation will enable a more multifaceted and diverse approach in understanding and supporting it.
