Abstract

We consider the issues of the adolescent’s personal sovereignty formation in a narrative training. The narrative is defined as a text, a meaning system, first divided between people and then interiorized. We substantiate the possibility of using the narrative as a psychotechnical tool in working with the personality sovereignty of the adolescent. Its formation is connected to the adolescent’s mastering of reflexive action aimed at the meaningful organization of his/her experience of successful autonomous behavior. The essence of the narrative training is constructing the narrative (narrative metaphor). We consider two aspects of the narrative metaphor: the domain of action landscape and the domain of meaning, that help the adolescent to signify and make sense of the unique episodes of his/her life and to structure the fragmented experiences of his/her successful independent behavior.
