Theoretical ideas about "narrative coherence" and "autobiographical competence" remain prevalent in contemporary therapeutic culture, and are frequently deployed in the service of the patient's producing a narrative "I" that can tell its own story. A preference for novelistic accounts of the self is countered here by proposing the short story form as an alternative model for the telling of a self within psychoanalysis. Alice Munro's "The Moons of Jupiter," the roots of the short story form in fable, and a rereading of Freud's are used to illuminate how the short story may be seen as an exemplary tale paralleling the origin of the self in its identification with the other.
关于“叙事连贯”和“自传能力”的理论观点在当代治疗文化中仍然流行，并经常被用于服务于患者生成一个能够讲述自己故事的叙事“我”。在这里，我反对对自我的小说性描述，而是提出短篇小说形式作为精神分析中讲述自我的另一种模式。爱丽丝·门罗的《木星的月亮》、短篇小说形式在寓言中的根源以及对弗洛伊德的重新解读被用来阐明短篇小说如何被视为一个典范的故事，与自我认同于他者的起源相平行。
