The Principles and Practice of Narrative Medicine
by Rita Charon, Sayantani DasGupta, Nellie Hermann, Craig Irvine, Eric R. Marcus, Edgar Riviera Colón, Danielle Spencer, & Maura Spiegel
This textbook, authored by Rita Charon and co-workers at Columbia University, beautifully introduces and contextualizes narrative medicine from its core. For any reader interested in a deep dive of the field and where it stemmed from, I recommend purchasing this textbook. The book provides ample examples of the use of narrative medicine in action, as well as discusses how the Masters program in Narrative Medicine is taught at Columbia University.
