Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The volume explores the use of narrative story completion methodologies, a story-based research approach used to deepen our understanding of human development across the lifespan. The methods involve asking participants to complete stories with challenging or evocative themes. Participants' responses allow access into individuals' internal worlds, expose the social processes through which meaning is made of experiences, and reveal how individuals organize those experiences. Importantly, narrative story completion methods reveal truths and uncover processes where traditional interview methods fall short. The volume reviews 30 years of research on these methods and offers new frameworks, emphasizing a holistic approach and highlighting the importance of recognizing strengths and protective factors in individuals, especially in clinical and diverse contexts.
MoreLong description:
The stories we tell reflect what we know, both explicitly and implicitly, about ourselves and others and reveal the processes through which our social worlds are constructed. With nearly a 100-year history in psychology, this volume takes a fresh look at narrative story completion methodologies (NSCM), a story-based research approach that harnesses the power of storytelling to better understand our inner and socially constructed worlds. The volume represents the first compendium to present the diverse array of NSCM used by contemporary researchers and practitioners. It synthesizes three decades of quantitative and qualitative studies across disciplines and through the lifespan, and offers exciting new directions for bringing the method to its full potential.
By bringing together and highlighting strengths in both quantitative and qualitative works, the volume urges researchers to break through epistemological dichotomies. It charts a way forward for conceptualizing holistic frameworks that acknowledge and integrate life course processes, specifically perspectives that account for individual characteristics and processes within sociocultural contexts. Providing valuable insights and applications for researchers who study cognition and development across the lifespan, the volume also offers examples of and future directions for building on the strengths of storytelling in culturally sensitive and asset-based ways, highlighting approaches for researchers to advance social justice and promote the well-being of individuals and communities worldwide.
How do people construct meaning of their experiences and convey it to others? This volume is a uniquely valuable entreé into the use of narrative story completion methodology for answering this question. The authors explore different methods, unpack their theoretical foundations, present provocative data elucidating what these methods show, and raise important questions for future study. With research applications spanning early childhood to adult, and consideration of cultural and linguistic diversity, this volume is an essential resource for researchers in many fields.
