An integrative model of narrative identity builds on a dual memory system that draws on episodic memory and a long-term self to generate autobiographical memories. Autobiographical memories related to critical goals in a lifetime period lead to life-story memories, which in turn become self-defining memories when linked to an individual's enduring concerns. Self-defining memories that share repetitive emotion-outcome sequences yield narrative scripts, abstracted templates that filter cognitive-affective processing. The life story is the individual's overarching narrative that provides unity and purpose over the life course. Healthy narrative identity combines memory specificity with adaptive meaning-making to achieve insight and well-being, as demonstrated through a literature review of personality and clinical research, as well as new findings from our own research program. A clinical case study drawing on this narrative identity model is also presented with implications for treatment and research.
叙事身份的综合模型建立在一个双重记忆系统之上，该系统利用情景记忆和一个长期的自我来生成自传记忆。与一生中关键目标相关的自传记忆会导致生活故事记忆，而当这些记忆与个人持久关注的问题联系起来时，它们就会成为自我定义的记忆。自我定义的记忆如果共享重复的情绪-结果序列，就会产生叙事脚本，即抽象的模板，过滤认知-情感处理。生活故事是个人的总体叙事，为整个生命过程提供了统一性和目的性。健康的叙事身份将记忆特异性与适应性意义构建相结合，以实现洞察力和幸福感，这一点通过对人格和临床研究的文献综述以及我们自己的研究计划的新发现得到了证明。本文还通过一个临床案例研究来阐述这一叙事身份模型，并探讨了其在治疗和研究方面的意义。
