Abstract

Stories hold an important role in the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. Their power derives in part from the fact that humans are biologically programmed for storytelling. Stories foster connection with others, socialization, and identity formation. They are integral to all psychoanalytic theories of therapeutic action, and their telling is therapeutic in itself. Psychoanalytic theoretical paradigms can be considered stories, as well. A positive outcome of analytic treatment has the individual emerging with an open-ended story that encompasses past, present, and future. Finally, an autobiographical example demonstrates how shared stories consolidate group identities, uphold and perpetuate a group's power over others, and perpetuate racial and ethnic stereotypes.

摘要

故事在精神分析的理论和实践中扮演着重要的角色。它们的力量部分源于这样一个事实，即人类从生物学角度来说就被设定为会讲故事。故事促进了与他人的联系、社会化和身份认同的形成。它们是所有精神分析治疗作用理论的组成部分，而讲述故事本身就是一种治疗。精神分析理论范式也可以被视为故事。分析治疗的积极结果是，个体以一种开放式的故事出现，涵盖过去、现在和未来。最后，一个自传体的例子表明，共同的故事如何巩固群体身份，维护和延续一个群体对他人的权力，并使种族和族裔刻板印象永久化。
