Describing a new narrative research approach this book focuses on difficulty in teaching
practices particularly at the site of the professional teaching self. A thoughtful approach to
narrative research is foundationally constructed through the use of thirteen original stories.
Leah C. Fowler writes theoretically narratively and autobiographically to illustrate her
narrative method of working. Her theory along with internarrative exemplars addresses a need
for deeper inquiry into narrative research. The seven orbitals of scholarly narrative analysis
include naïve storying psychological [de re]construction psychotherapeutic ethics narrative
craft hermeneutics curriculum pedagogy and poetics of the relational teaching self.
