About the Book

Writing the Self in Illness; Reading the Experiental Through the Medical
Memoir is MUP's refreshing venture into the developing fields of
Medical and Health Humanities with an aim to consider the necessity
of the narrative knowledge as complementary to the contemporary
notion of well-being, illness, and healthcare.

Is Individual happiness contingent on health ans well-being?
How does one find happiness in the throes of illness? in the
present-day scenario, wherein medical practice is largely
dominated by evidence-based understanding, diagnostic
language, and problem-solving method, the discipline of
Medical Humanties emrgers with a reciporacal dialogue
between Humanties, Social Science, health, and Medicine.

< p>

The Study of varied experitial narratives-literay works and unmeditated accounts
of patients and healthcare professionals, is foregrounded in Medical Humanities
to amlify knowledge and understanding about the complexity of encounters with
illness and their transformational quality in a naunced manner. Both thought-
provoking and informative, this publication brings about the anecdotal form of
personal narratives in the light of medical discourses along with the specific
cultural context of the narrative.

The Present publication seeks to be an important reading for students and academics
in the field of medical humanities, health professionals or medical practitiners, as well
as scholars aspiring to venture into this flourishing field.
