Narrative Medicine: Honoring the stories of illness
Charon, Rita (Professor of Clinical Medicine and Director of the Program in Narrative Medicine, Professor of Clinical Medicine and Director of the Program in Narrative Medicine, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University)
Narrative medicine has emerged in response to a health care system that places corporate and bureaucratic concerns over the needs of patients. Charon argues that by making genuine contact with patients through storytelling, narrative medicine leads to more humane, ethical, and effective health care.
