Abstract

The life-story work model is an interactive model of the self and the external systems interconnected by attunement, facilitated by an individual's construction of self. It is posited that the co-construction of the life-story is a critical aspect of the development of self and therefore plays an important role in the attunement one experiences within the nexus of the two systems.
