Throughout our lives, story is the medium each of us uses to make
sense of our environment and relationships. Stories provide meaning
and context, enriching our experiences and equipping us with a
framework to navigate our existence. This unique, practical book
for healthcare trainees, practitioners and educators explores the
ideas and practice of narrative and storytelling that lie at the
very heart of clinical medicine and the patient ‘experience’ of
care. It shows how story and narrative can be used effectively to
help convey concepts such as prognosis and the effect of illness
upon life, and to prepare patients and their relatives for
difficult and painful news. Offering a particular insight into
communication by and between healthcare professionals, and how it
can be refocused and improved, this updated and expanded second
edition remains an invaluable teaching aid for educators working in
both small and large formats, and for under- and postgraduate
students.
