Description
Narrative medicine has developed an identity already.
Clinicians of many disciplines are being summoned to a practice that recognizes patients by receiving their accounts of self.
Starting from different positions, the four authors have converged in a strong and shared commitment to narrative health care.
They conceptualize narrative health care practices within frameworks derived from the social sciences and psychology, and, to a lesser degree, phenomenology and autobiographical theory.
They relate the development of narrative medicine to relationship-centered care, patient-centered care, and complex responsive process of relating theory, positing that narrative medicine can help clinicians to develop the skills required to practice relationship-centered care.
The book details - with exercises, resource texts, and abundant scholarly apparatus - how these skills can be developed and strengthened.
This work will change health care. Because of its scholarly rigor, its multi-voiced sources, and its highly practical features (lists, activities, key ideas and key references, primary texts written by health care professionals and patients), this work will be a guide in the field for those who practice medicine or nursing or social work.
The book establishes that there is a field to be practised, a need to practise it, and a means to develop the wherewithal to do so.
