This book examines all aspects of narrative medicine and its value
in ensuring that, in an age of evidence-based medicine defined by
clinical trials, numbers, and probabilities, clinical science is
firmly embedded in the medical humanities in order to foster the
understanding of clinical cases and the delivery of excellent
patient care. The medical humanities address what happens to us
when we are affected by a disease and narrative medicine is an
interdisciplinary approach that emphasizes the importance of
patient narratives in bridging various divides, including those
between health care professionals and patients. The book covers the
genesis of the medical humanities and of narrative medicine and
explores all aspects of their role in improving healthcare. It
describes how narrative medicine is therapeutic for the patient,
enhances the patient-doctor relationship, and allows the
identification, via patients' stories, of the feelings and
experiences that are characteristic for each disease. Furthermore,
it explains how to use narrative medicine as a real scientific
tool. Narrative Medicine will be of value for all caregivers:
physicians, nurses, healthcare managers, psychotherapists,
counselors, and social workers. "Maria Giulia Marini takes a unique
and innovative approach to narrative medicine. She sees it as
offering a bridge - indeed a variety of different bridges - between
clinical care and 'humanitas'. With a sensitive use of mythology,
literature and metaphor on the one hand, and scientific studies on
the other, she shows how the guiding concept of narrative might
bring together the fragmented parts of the medical enterprise".
