Narrative Research in Health and Illness

Description

This comprehensive book celebrates the coming of age of narrative in health care. It uses narrative to go beyond the patient's story and address social, cultural, ethical, psychological, organizational and linguistic issues. This book is essentially a second edition of "Narrative Based Medicine" which appeared back in 1998. The first book was good but this one is better. This book shows that the field of narrative medicine/healthcare is progressing rapidly and maturing as a discipline. The chapters, many by well-known names in the discipline, are readable, wide-ranging and thought-provoking. For anyone coming to narrative medicine for the first time, this book is a great introduction to the range of issues in healthcare that lend themselves to a narrative approach. Ways of thinking about healthcare, such as narrative, are sorely needed in order to balance the continuing reductionism of much healthcare in the western world. It can be argued that this reductionism is largely responsible for the sense of alienation that many people (patients and health professionals) feel within a western health system. Books like this should be required reading for all medical students.
