The purpose of the present studies was to explore the structural determinants of personal family narratives which modify family narratives, and, consequently, individual narrative schema. The first study examined the mothers' narratives about their newborn babies and the relationships between their structure and the extent of the mothers' cognitive individuation. The second analysed the narratives about the characteristics of particular persons in families of varied cohesion.
