Narrative Medicine

This book bridges a critical gap between those who have access to narrative medicine programs and those who do not, democratizing narrative medicine practice. It explains basic narrative medicine principles and offers guided narrative medicine exercises on themes relevant to anyone working in healthcare or in the education of healthcare professionals. Thematic chapters can be used for individual reflection or in small group sessions. Practical and accessible, the book will expand access to narrative medicine, making its principles straightforward and understandable, and its implementation manageable. Special consideration of issues of diversity and inclusivity are also woven throughout, highlighting the contexts and voices of those who are often left behind, and who suffer the most.
