Purchase options and add-ons

Throughout our lives, story is the medium each of us uses to make sense of our environment and relationships. Stories provide meaning and context, enriching our experiences and equipping us with a framework to navigate our existence.

Storytelling in Medicine is aunique, practical book for healthcare trainees, practitioners and educators that explores the ideas and practice of narrative and storytelling that lie at the very heart of clinical medicine and the patient ‘experience’ of care. It shows how story and narrative can be used effectively to help convey concepts such as prognosis and the effect of illness upon life, and to prepare patients and their relatives for difficult and painful news.

Offering a particular insight into communication by and between healthcare professionals, and how it can be refocused and improved, the book is an invaluable teaching aid for educators working in both small and large formats, and for under- and postgraduate students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time for new teaching strategies in Medical Schools
Reviewed in the United States on 7 September 2017

This is an excellent book to be read and discussed by professors and medical students. Students usually have difficulties to take and write down the patients' medical history during their graduation. In fact, many young doctors have the same problem. It is an example of how literature can help in medical graduation. This book is an example that it is time for the Academy to use "off-label" new strategies to make good medical doctors. Thanks to the inspiration of Rita Charon' s Narrative Medicine works and ideal. Congratulations to the editors and contributors for brilliant work.
