[Embodied narratives of overcoming: A pathway towards recovery?]
Vertex : Revista Argentina de Psiquiatriá 2017 November
Narratives play a fundamental role in the recovery of persons with schizophrenia, mainly from the paradigmatic change engendered by the recovery movement. Rather than a methodological tool or a byproduct of recovery, narratives are integral components of this process. This article aims to analyze overcoming narratives, in the light of the corporeality paradigm, based on an emblematic case of a peer support worker. This is a qualitative study carried out in the context of a randomized clinical trial, and it is based on one in-depth interview and focus groups for the construction of the narrative. Thematic analysis was carried out and the following categories were identifed: sense of self and embodiment; experience of time and space; relationship with others; illness experience and overcoming. The embodied narratives of overcoming constitute in the register of a non-linear temporality, and it is based on a dialectical and dialogic process of construction/reconstruction of the sense of self and of the body itself. We propose that embodied narratives are considered as a methodological principle for narrative analysis on recovery, as well as an intrinsic dimension of the recovery journey; that is, as the center of gravity of the process of construction / reconstruction of the sense of self, embodiment and the sense of belonging to the world.
