This book contains excerpts of life stories from 118 individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and major depressive disorder. This library of personal narratives, heavily reproduced and quoted throughout the text, presents a composite image of the ways in which narrative identity can be affected by mental illness while also being a resource for personal recovery. Those researching, studying, or practicing in mental health professions will find a wealth of humanizing first-person perspectives on mental illness that foster perspective-taking and aid patient-centered treatment and study. Researchers of narrative psychology will find a unique set of life stories synthesized with existing literature on identity and recovery. Moving toward intervention, the authors include a 'guide for narrative repair' with the aim of healing narrative identity damage and fostering growth of adaptive narrative identity.

Holm, Tine: - Tine Holm completed her PhD on life stories in schizophrenia, then received funding to examine trauma within psychiatric settings particularly in relation to force treatment. In parallel with her research, she works as a clinical psychologist at an outpatient unit for individuals with severe mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorder.

Jensen, Rikke: - Rikke Amalie Agergaard Jensen received her PhD in psychology in 2020 from Aarhus University, Denmark. As an assistant professor at the University of Southern Denmark, she continues to study stories about the lived experience of mental illness. Specifically, she concentrates on children of parents with mental illness and family stories to aid the development of family-centered treatment and to mitigate social inequalities and stigmatization in mental healthcare.

Thomsen, Dorthe Kirkegaard: - Dorthe Kirkegaard Thomsen is a professor of psychology at Aarhus University, Denmark. She is a prominent scholar in narrative identity, which she has studied extensively over the past decade. She has authored more than 60 scientific papers and has received several grants and awards in recognition of her work.
