Youth Narrative Foreclosure and Narrative Empowerment / 中国医学伦理学

ABSTRACT

In the context of life health narratives, narrative foreclosure is considered as "the rupture or stagnation of the life narrative process". Narrative foreclosure occurs in people of all ages, and the life stories of those with narrative foreclosure often end prematurely or remain in a stagnant state that cannot be updated. The youth stage will experience three crises of narrative relationships rupture, including identity location, social and family narrative relationships rupture, which are the important reasons for youth narrative foreclosure. By analyzing the characteristics and manifestations of typical youth narrative foreclosures in literature and clinical practice, this paper aimed to draw more researchers to pay attention to the phenomenon of narrative foreclosure in youth groups, understand the importance of narrative empowerment, and help them improve their narrative literacy, and restart new life experiences, so as to break through the foreclosure from inside to outside, and achieve the physical and mental health of the subject.
