ABSTRACT
The idea of a "narrator self" appeared in the 1980s and had a major impact on psychotherapy. A central idea in narrative therapy is that people define who they are for themselves and for others through autobiographical stories. The stories narrated in therapy refer to an agent with intentions. One of the main observations of the post-psychological narrative approach is that the person is a community of selves, each self has a story to tell, but also different selves will be active according to different psychosocial contexts. Narratives are a mirror of the script. Script is both lived and narrated. Scripts are lived even in the therapy room, as Eric Berne pointed out. According to Berne, fairy tales inspire children when they create their own script. Berne's intuition, as indicated in his definitions of script, was to make a distinction between a "core" unconscious story and a "preconscious" story developed during childhood.
