Riassunto

This book introduces the forms of oral narratives concerning personal experiences, and demonstrates how the variety of viewpoints shown in stories strongly, yet unnoticeably, influence a listener's emotions. It also shows how parents can help children, and psychotherapists can assist patients, to enrich their narratives with additional perspectives.
