. Brings together a diversity of experience and perspectives of the
use of narrative and stories, from leading international scholars
and practitioners in the social sciences and palliative care
. Considers the value, use and impact of narrative approaches in

particiption, spiritual care, family

. Identifies methods of working more effectively with narrative in
everyday clinical practice
. Engages with theoretical ideas and concepts from a range of

The use of narrative methods has a long history in palliative care,
pioneered by Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern hospice
movement. Narrative and Stories in Health Care provides a vibrant,
multidisciplinary examination of work with narrative and stories in
contemporary health and social care, with a focus on the care of
people who are ill and dying. It animates the academic literature
with provocative 'real-world' examples from international
contributors, including palliative care service users and those
working in the social and human sciences, medicine, theology, and
the creative arts.
Narrative and Stories in Health Care addresses and discusses key
questions: What is a narrative? What is a story? What are some of
the main methods and models that can be used and for what purposes?
What practical and ethical dilemmas can the methods entail in work
with illness, death and dying? As well as highlighting the power of
stories to create new possibilities, the book also acknowledges the
conceptual, methodological and ethical problems and challenges
inherent in narrative work.
As the hospice and palliative care movement evolves to meet the
challenges of 21st century health care, this fascinating book
highlights how narratives and stories can be attended to in ways
that are productive, ethical, and caring."
