This book provides an important contribution to the new and growing
field of 'narrative-based medicine'. It specifically addresses the
largest area of medical activity, primary care. It provides both a
theoretical framework and practical skills for dealing with
individual consultations, family work, clinical supervision and
teamwork, and offers a comprehensive approach to the whole range of
work in primary care. Using a wide range of clinical examples, it
shows how professionals in primary care can help clarify patients'
existing stories, and elucidate new stories. It can be used as a
training resource and includes exercises and summaries of key
points to consider. It is based on, and describes, an established
evaluated training method, and is of immediate and significant
practical use to readers. It is essential reading for general
practitioners, practice nurses and others in the primary care team,
psychologists, family therapists, counsellors and other
professionals attached to primary care. GP trainers, tutors and
course organisers will find it a valuable educational tool.
Professionals elsewhere in primary care such as pharmacists,
dentists and optometrists, and academics in medical sociology and
medical anthropology will also find it very useful.
