Description
The impact of stories on our physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being will be explored at The Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture during a 3-part lecture series entitled “Healing Fictions: How Stories Restore Us.” The importance of stories in healing has emerged in response to a healthcare system that too often places technology and bureaucratic concerns over the needs of the patient. Increasingly, healthcare providers are beginning to listen to their patients’ stories, thereby gaining the wisdom to comprehend what patients endure in illness, as well as what they themselves undergo in the care of the sick. The result is more humane, ethical, and effective healthcare. Speakers and topics are as follows:
Dr. Rita Charon discusses “Literature, Medicine, and Narrative Competency.” Dr. Charon is a national authority on narrative medicine and the doctor-patient relationship. She is Professor of Clinical Medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and author of Stories Matter: The Role of Narrative in Medical Ethics.
