Narrative Medicine
The Use of History and Story in the Healing Process Lewis Mehl-Madrona, M.D., Ph.D. Paperback. - 324 pp. View the Back Cover
Dr. Mehl-Madrona examines a healing modality that has kept his own Cherokee nation peoples and other indigenous cultures healthy for centuries. Going beyond sterile office visits to hurried doctors, Mehl-Madrona advocates dialoguing with our disease, telling about our illness, and examining our relationships with our families and community to find any other disharmony that needs to be healed. It is in the hearing and telling of stories that disease can be released and treated. Read about successful healing occurrences induced through the power of storytelling, with case histories from North American and Hawaiian healers. In addition, the author is a healing practitioner who successfully uses this method with his own patients.
