Pain and trauma narratives are different from other narratives
because they are fragments of fears and indescribable pains. Most
importantly, they enhance therapeutic improvement of patients who
use writing as a means of confronting their pains. Testimonies of
traumatic experiences often introduce the sufferers and witnesses
of such pain, to the heroic, harrowing and shameful sides of
existence. Also because of the increase in stress, trauma and
death; and because of the limitations of science and technology in
the fight against disease and death, many writers across the globe
have used their works of arts to focus on scientific endeavours at
arresting illness and trauma, the moral choices in the treatment of
sick people and the failure of human compassion that more often
than not accompany humankind's increasingly reliance on
technological care. It is the hope of this doctoral research into
the world literature and healing, THE WORD IN THE WARD, that
humankind would evolve a means of better comprehending the language
and agony of people suffering from disease as this will help the
healing process in no small measure.
