Routledge Press – Mark Freeman – Rewriting The Self

Rewriting the Self explores the process by which individuals reconstruct the meaning and significance of past
experience. 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.
