<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p></p><p><i>Literature and Medicine: A Practical and Pedagogical Guide</i> is designed to introduce narrative medicine in medical humanities courses aimed at pre-medicine undergraduates and medical and healthcare students. With excerpts from short stories, novels, memoirs, and poems, the book guides students on the basic methods and concepts of the study of narrative. The book helps healthcare professionals to build a set of skills and knowledge central to the practice of medicine including an understanding of professionalism, building the patient-physician relationship, ethics of medical practice, the logic of diagnosis, recognizing mistakes in medical practice, and diversity of experience. In addition to analyzing and considering the literary texts, each chapter includes a vignette taken from clinical situations to help define and illustrate the chapter's theme. <i>Literature and Medicine</i> illustrates the ways that engagement with the humanities in general, and literature in particular, can create better and more fulfilled physicians and caretakers. </p><p><br></p><br><p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><i>Literature and Medicine: A Practical and Pedagogical Guide</i> is designed to introduce narrative medicine in medical humanities courses aimed at pre-medicine undergraduates and medical and healthcare students.
