Narrative medicine is a growing field of research and teaching. It arises from an interdisciplinary interest in person-centered medicine and is regarded as a major innovation in the medical humanities. This anthology is the first of its kind which integrates chapters on legitimizing narrative medicine in education, practice and research on analyzing types of patient narratives and on studying interventions applying vulnerable or shared reading, creative writing, or Socratic dialogue as a means of rehabilitation and mental care. In her foreword, Rita Charon, who originally coined the term ‘narrative medicine’ recognizes this expansion of the field and name it ‘system narrative medicine’.

This is a book with an ambitious goal—to encapsulate both the challenging and healing experiences of patients (from acute illness to addiction and recovery, and in settings ranging from cancer treatment to writing groups) and academic understandings of and influences on such experiences, while also taking into account the ways those two milieus are shaped by—and shape—healthcare as a global business. This business of healing, often though not always hospital-based, is depicted as one which inflects and is sculpted by narratives produced by patients. The questions Narratives in Medicine asks are field-encompassing, while the base assumptions its authors make—and the answers they give—are based on personal experience teaching and practicing at the University of Southern Denmark, Columbia University, the University of Oklahoma, and Rutgers University. It’s an approach that allows local, site-specific insights to flourish alongside global inquiry.—Rebecca M. Rosen; Assistant Professor of English at Murray State University
