What is Metamythic Psychology?
Metamythic Psychology offers a fresh, integrative framework for understanding healing, identity, and human transformation. Drawing from psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, humanistic-existential, narrative, and parts-based approaches, Michael F. Smith presents a model that helps readers and clinicians better understand the stories they live by, shift unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful change.
​
Grounded in compassion, authenticity, and empowerment, this book explores how past experiences and relationships shape the present, how limiting beliefs can be challenged, and how deeper self-awareness can lead to purpose, resilience, and emotional connection.
Rather than replacing existing therapeutic approaches, Metamythic Psychology weaves them together into a coherent map for healing—one that helps move people from fragmentation toward wholeness, from survival toward authorship, and from pain toward a stronger sense of self-worth.
