From the beginning of life, human experience gains expression through the integration of perception, cognition, memory and affect into mini or complex narratives. This core proposal is illustrated in chapters referencing creativity, psychoanalytic process, gesture, and sensory-motor activity, dreams, music, conflicting narratives in couples, imaginative stories of adopted children, identity, and individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluding a major revision in theory based upon an expanded definition of narrative, this book is an essential read for any contemporary psy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"This book is surely among the most important and innovative contributions to psychoanalysis this year. The chapters range in topic, but share in common a focus on the capacity of narrative in whatever form to create a more holistic lived experience from infancy on, for the individual, for the couple, and for the therapeutic dyad. The contributions are wonderfully diverse, beginning with the clinical situation, and moving on to encompass such subjects as music as narrative; the dream narrative; the narrative of the adoptee; the broader context from which clinical narratives emerge; types of clinical narrative; and the science-based narrative. The beginning and ending chapters by Joe Lichtenberg are superb. I would love to describe and elaborate on the multiple merits of each, but must be content with recommending as strongly as I can: do not miss this significant collection!\"-\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEstelle Shane\u003c\/strong\u003e, training and supervising analyst and faculty at ICP and NCP; founding member, Past president and board member of ICP; adjunct faculty, UCLA School of Medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Narrative \u0026amp; Meaning \u003cem\u003eJoseph D.
