Why Change is Hard

The Power of Master Narratives Over Self and Society

By: Kate C. McLean,Professor Kate McLean

The idea that we are the only thing standing in our way - that positive personal change is always within reach, that change is equally available to everyone, as long as they are willing to work hard - is such a pervasive message, so taken for granted in our popular culture that it's really more than just an idea, it's a belief: adopt the right personal habits, the right diet, the right life hacks...and the change you desire will surely be yours"--

Family Stories and the Construction of Personal Identity

By: Kate C. McLean

In The Co-authored Self, Kate McLean addresses the question of how an individual comes to develop an identity by focusing on the process of interpersonal storytelling, particularly through the stories people hear, co-tell, and share of and with their families. McLean details how identity development is a collaborative construction between the individual and his or her narrative ecology.

Narrative Development in Adolescence

Creating the Storied Self

By: Kate C. McLean,Monisha Pasupathi

Monisha Pasupathi and Kate C. McLean Where Have You Been, Where Are You Going? Narrative Identity in Adolescence How can we help youth move from childhood to adulthood in the most effective and positive way possible? This is a question that parents, educators, researchers, and policy makers engage with every day. In this book, we explore the potential power of the stories that youth construct as one route for such movement. Our emphasis is on how those stories serve to build a sense of identity for youth and how the kinds of stories youth tell are informed by their broader contexts – from parents and friends to nationalities and history. Identity development, and in part- ular narrative identity development, concerns the ways in which adolescents must integrate their past and present and articulate and anticipate their futures (Erikson, 1968). Viewed in this way, identity development is not only unique to adol- cence (and emergent adulthood), but also intimately linked to childhood and to adulthood. The title for this chapter, borrowed from the Joyce Carol Oates story, highlights the precarious position of adolescence in relation to the construction of identity. In this story, the protagonist, poised between childhood and adulthood, navigates a series of encounters with relatively little awareness of either her childhood past or her potential adult futures. Her choices are risky and her future, at the end, looks dark.
