< p class="m_9043604965527294445MsoPlainText">“What ’s the Story?”: Life Style Narratives Study Group “strings together” a person’s Early Recollections or perceived important memories – those short autobiographical sketches that largely reflect a person’s personality or “ movement through life” – into a kind of short story. The group then adapts and applies literary interpretive methods used by educational organization s such as The Great Books Foundation, which promote better comprehension of a text, to Life Style interpretation. We are not a therapy group, but a b ook club with a twist!

From our website:
What’s the Story was inspired by the work of pioneering personality theorist Alfred Adler a nd the exercises that writers’ workshops conduct to “get t he creative juices flowing”:
Alfred Adler (1870 – 1937) believed that a person’s personality, which he called Life Style, cou ld be assessed via the “stories” – the memories or early recollections – th at a person easily, and often, recalls. (Adler’s ideas influenced social ps ychology and cognitive-behavioral psychology.)
Writers wo rkshops, particularly creative writing workshops, emphasize “writi ng about what you know.” Popular writing exercises involve jotting down mem ories or specific incidents. Chicago’s “Clothesline School of Fiction,” fo r example, emphasized “stringing together” memories because the incidents, themes reflected, and people remembered in them often were similar and, thu s, could form the foundation of a larger literary piece.
Each “readi ng” that we approach and interpret – as a book club-style group – is compri sed of that person’s (the “author’s”) Family Constellation and Early Recollections:
The Family Constel lation provides a kind of “Cast of Characters.” It is really just brief descriptions of self (the author, or “I” of the story/ies or memorie s – the main character/”hero”) and family members. These descriptions show not only the influences on the main character, but give us – the readers! – an idea of how that person responds to others. (A simple way to understa nd the Family Constellation is to consider birth order – or one’s position with regard to others: that is, does a character resemble a “bossy oldest” or a “dethroned oldest” or a “spoiled youngest” or an “ignored middle,” “t he favorite son,” “the competitive second,” “the rebel,” the drop out,” etc .).
The Early Recollections (ERs) are the author’s /main character’s important or “guiding” memories. (These recollections ar e called “guiding” because, being the most easily recalled, they generally reflect what the author thinks of self, world, and others; they can reflect , for example, “lessons learned” or how the person has been “moving” throug h life.) The handful of memories that are asked for are strung together, c omposing a kind of short story that involves challenges and characters’ att empts to overcome or solve them …
We interpret the material or readin g as a group, raising opened-ended questions (often referred to as Socratic -type questions) to get us started. A question may even be as simple as “w hat don’t you understand?”, and then inviting participants to find clues or patterns within the text to help in the inquiry or answering.
