Abstract

World entry

Narrative turn

Narrative

World

Local knowledge

Dualism

The basic premise of this book is that not only is narrative medicine important, but the nature of health services is changed due to this development. How these programs are planned, developed, and evaluated is altered significantly. A fundamental shift in philosophy is made with respect to how patients and communities view their problems and judge interventions. Polkinghorne and others talk about this change as a “narrative turn” (Polkinghorne 1988; Morris 2000). Especially significant is that local knowledge is elevated in importance.
