Green, Viviane (2015) Discussion of Hughes’ “There’s No Such Thing as a Whole Story”. Studies in Gender and Sexuality 16 (3), pp. 170-178. ISSN 1524-0657.
Abstract
The discussion of Elizabeth Hughes’ essay “There’s No Such Thing as the Whole Story” seeks to argue that a biopsychosocial perspective can flesh out understanding of what occurs at the level of discourse by adoptees. Underpinning such discourses, it is argued, is an experience-dependent view of the embodied mind. From this perspective understanding of the unconscious is situated biopsychosocially and includes aspects of how an autobiographical sense of self (Damasio, 2011) is embedded in memory.
