Ethics and Process in the Narrative Study of Lives by Ruthellen H Josselson

First-hand accounts of the ideological, moral, emotional and practical complexities that surround the doing of narrative research feature in this volume. It explores issues such as: whether work that risks exposing sensitive aspects of peoples lives can ever be fully ethical and what effect being written about has on people.

"This well-balanced collection of essays offers deeply provocative, honest and open analyses of a wide range of ethical problems within a field which continues to strive toward acceptance and recognition as a research traditionIt should provide useful and insightful reading as well as practical guidance for educators, practitioners and researchers interested in the challenge of telling stories of human experience with the tools of integrity and self-reflection."
