To inquire about self knowledge implicitly suggests that there is a self that can be known in a verifiable way. Several psychological disciplines have developed creative and innovative methods for identifying and overcoming barriers to assessing the self in an objective manner. Yet from the perspectives adopted by the growing field of narrative psychology, the very mission of identifying objective self-knowledge is fraught. One of the most exciting elements of the field of narrative psychology is its location at the nexus of two epistemological traditions. On the one hand, narrative psychologists share many of the same concerns with validity, reliability, and prediction that are at the heart of most scientific psychological inquiry. On the other hand, narrative perspectives embrace the fundamental subjectivity of stories. Rather than regarding personal narratives as veridical accounts of what took place in an individual’s life, stories are construed as revealing important psychological data about the individual’s approach to making meaning out of those experiences. This meaning is idiosyncratic, dynamic, and deeply subjective; but it also turns out to be relatively stable, reliably assessed, and highly predictive of important psychological outcomes. By virtue of straddling this epistemological line, narrative perspectives offer an incredibly generative theoretical orientation toward the matter of self-knowledge. In this chapter I will discuss narrative psychology’s elegant, if sometimes uncomfortable, blending of epistemological traditions as they apply to the topic of self-knowledge. In doing so, I hope to shed light on the contributions and limitations of different approaches and to illuminate the potential of continuing to walk this epistemological line.
