Narrative medicine has developed an identity already. Clinicians of
many disciplines are being summoned to a practice that recognizes
patients by receiving their accounts of self. Starting from
different positions, the four authors have converged in a strong
and shared commitment to narrative health care. They conceptualize
narrative health care practices within frameworks derived from the
social sciences and psychology, and, to a lesser degree,
phenomenology and autobiographical theory. They relate the
development of narrative medicine to relationship-centered care,
patient-centered care, and complex responsive process of relating
theory, positing that narrative medicine can help clinicians to
develop the skills required to practice relationship-centered care.
The book details - with exercises, resource texts, and abundant
scholarly apparatus - how these skills can be developed and
strengthened. This work will change health care. Because of its
scholarly rigor, its multi-voiced sources, and its highly practical
features (lists, activities, key ideas and key references, primary
texts written by health care professionals and patients), this work
will be a guide in the field for those who practice medicine or
nursing or social work. The book establishes that there is a field
to be practised, a need to practise it, and a means to develop the
wherewithal to do so.
