See all formats and editions
A comprehensive and practical guide on conducting rigorous, ethical, and impactful psychobiographical research.
 
Psychobiography is the intensive psychological study of an individual within their unique socio‑cultural‑historic context. This engaging and exciting approach challenges researchers to apply psychological theories and knowledge of history to understand the inner emotional life of a particular person, usually a prominent historical figure.
 
This handbook leads readers step-by-step through all aspects of planning and conducting a psychobiography. Readers will learn how to select an appropriate historical subject for research, anchor their study in established theories of psychology, collect and analyze data, monitor ethical considerations, and write the final report. Chapters are richly illustrated with examples from the author’s own work, as well as early psychobiographical landmarks, such as Freud's study of Leonardo da Vinci and Erikson’s study of Mahatma Gandhi.
 
With its personal tone and wisdom borne from experience, this book will be a trusty resource for all psychobiographers, from students writing a psychobiography for a course to seasoned researchers writing a book‑length psychobiography for publication.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know to write a psychobiography
    Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2024
    This book is the ultimate how-to-do book on writing psychobiography (a biography, using a psychological lens, of a prominent person, such as the figures Ponterotto himself has written about: chess champion Bobby Fischer and John F. Kennedy Jr., son of the U.S. President from the 1960s). It is hard to imagine a book that guides and instructs a psychobiographer better than does this book. Ponterotto seemingly misses no possible aspects of carrying out a psychobiographical study. He discusses everything from how to choose a person to write about to how to get what you’ve written published. Topics that few would think about are included, such as going through a university’s Institutional Review Board and how psychobiographers can take care of their own mental health amidst the stresses of their work. Ponterotto also has a pleasing, personal style that includes humor and many anecdotes about his own experience of writing psychobiographies.
