Description
This book explores psychobiography with focus on meaning making and identity development in the life and works of extraordinary individuals.
Meaning-making and identity development are existential constructs influencing psychological development, mental health and wellbeing across the lifecourse.
The chapters illustrate through the eyes of 25 international psychobiographers various theoretical and methodological approaches to psychobiography.
They explore how individuals, such as Angela Merkel, Karl Lagerfeld, Henri Nouwen, Vivian Maier, Charles Baudelaire, W.E.B. du Bois, Lora´nt Hegedu¨s, Kim Philby, Zoltan Paul Dienes, Albertina Sisulu, Ruth First, Sokrates, and Jesus construct their lives to make meaning, develop their identities and grow as individuals within their sociocultural contexts.
The texts provide deep insight into life’s development.
