Title: Gathering Narrative Data Through Interviews: Empirical Observations and Suggested Guidelines
Abstract: With growing interest in the narrative aspects of occupational therapy practice, the question arises as to how therapists can effectively gather narrative data. This article explores the formal interview as a means of obtaining stories. Secondary analysis of existing data was used to examine when and how the Occupational Performance History Interview elicited and suppressed patients' narratives responses. Based on the findings and on literature concerning the nature of narrative, guidelines for successful narrative interviewing are offered.
