Psychology of fiction and narrative psychology

This article on onfiction.ca focuses on narrative theory of personality and narrative therapy in relation to psychology of fiction.

There are a variety of such approaches out there. One of the biggest pitfalls among narrative approaches to psychology is confusing a story attributed to someone's life or behaviour as being their total identity. Describing someone's life by attributing a story to it does not imply that the person themself is a linguistic construct. Neither does it imply that such a story controls them rather than the other way around. These may seem like things so simple that they're not worth stating but they are very common assumptions among many who consider themself a structuralist/modernist or poststructuralist/postmodernist. Linguistic fundamentalism, under many names, is a cornerstone of much university-based Humanities study.
