Narrative medicine is a growing field of research and teaching. It arises from an interdisciplinary interest in person-centered medicine and is regarded as a major innovation in the medical humanities.
This anthology is the first of its kind which integrates chapters on legitimizing narrative medicine in education, practice and research on analyzing types of patient narratives and on studying interventions applying vulnerable or shared reading, creative writing, or Socratic dialogue as a means of rehabilitation and mental care. In her foreword, Rita Charon, who originally coined the term ‘narrative medicine’ recognizes this expansion of the field and name it ‘system narrative medicine’.
The anthology is made up of four parts. The first describes narrative medicine as a diverse field. The second presents narrative medicine in the teaching of healthcare professionals. The third part provides examples of the application of narrative medicine in clinical practice, and the final part deals with narrative medicine in intervention research.
