The Reconstruction of the Narrative in the Illness Experience - Abstract
The story telling it has proven essential in improving patients who use the clinic, both in
strengthening relations between doctor and patient, as in the understanding of the circumstances and acceptance of the sick; it is helpful in the healing process or mental health awareness; and also in supporting the pain and suffering of the patient, as it enables this to become an active subject in the modification of its history. The urge to re-story may proceed from significant or triggering life events. The connection capacity between the speaker and the listener will strengthen the exploration, understanding and effectiveness of this method of research.
