The life‐story work model is an interactive model of the self and the external systems interconnected by attunement, facilitated by an individual's construction of self. It is posited that the co‐construction of the life‐story is a critical aspect of the development of self and therefore plays an important role in the attunement one experiences within the nexus of the two systems.
