title: [Narration of illness and handicap].
abstract: The article argues for a narrative approach to subjective experience of illness and disability. Within the epistemological framework of discursive psychology, narrative presentations in social contexts are regarded as interactive practices of identity constitution and coping in the course of autobiographical construction. Possible contributions of a narratological approach to research on illness experience and coping as well as therapeutic and didactic consequences are discussed.
