Interpersonal Accounts: A Social Psychological Perspective

by John H. Harvey, Ann L. Weber, Terri Orbuch

The human is perhaps best dubbed Homo Narrans, the story-teller. In the search for meanings, humans constantly tell stories and make accounts to explain events and frame relationships. This book presents a systematic analysis from a psychological standpoint of this universal and fundamental human capacity.
