Abstract This narrative-based study employs membership categorization analysis to address the following question: How does a victim of abuse formulate and manage various categories and related descriptive details to story past trauma in ways that bring about new endings or insights in the present? Drawing on data taken from a larger research project on immigrant identity, the analysis centers on a Cambodian-Vietnamese man’s narrative of childhood abuse and adulthood confrontation. It shows how the teller, by recalibrating person (e.g., ‘father-son’, ‘victim-abuser’), age (e.g., ‘young-old’), place (e.g., ‘North America-Vietnam’), and other categorial resources, re-stories people and events and their psycho-social and moral inferences and outcomes. By tracing how this narrative teller reconstitutes himself from ‘victim’ to ‘hero’, this study offers insight into how a local interactional event (e.g., a research interview) may be transformed into a therapeutic exchange. Insights for therapeutic (re)storying, narrative research, and second language (L2) research are discussed.

“我现在是成年人了”

摘要 这项基于叙事的研究采用成员分类分析来解决以下问题：虐待的受害者如何制定和管理各种类别和相关的描述细节，以在当下带来新的结局或见解，以讲述过去的创伤故事？该分析利用从一个更大的移民身份研究项目中获取的数据，以柬埔寨-越南男子对童年虐待和成年对抗的叙述为中心。它通过重新校准人（例如“父子”、“受害者-施虐者”）、年龄（例如“年轻-老人”）、地点（例如“北美-越南”）和其他分类资源，重新讲述人和事件及其心理社会和道德推论和结果。通过追溯这位叙事讲述者如何将自己从“受害者”重构为“英雄”，这项研究提供了有关如何将本地互动事件（例如，研究访谈）转化为治疗交流的见解。讨论了治疗（重新）故事、叙事研究和第二语言 (L2) 研究的见解。
