“The problem with communication is the

illusion that it has taken place.”

George Bernard Shaw

Language Creates Meaning

• A Medical History is expressed in Language

• Illness separates us from the normal flow of life and requires new stories

• The story emerges in the dialogue and interaction between patient and physician (words and gesture).

• Training in reading Literature allows for broader diagnostic possibilities

“If we are on target in viewing a somatized symptom as the public performance of an unspeakable dilemma, then we should expect the freeingof expression to relieve a person’s symptom”.

(Griffith and Griffith, 1994)

What is the unspeakable dilemma?

Literature Creates Perspective

Ms WM’s son committed suicide and was found hanging by his daughter. There had been marital discord between husband and wife but the death brought his mother and her daughter-in-law closer together. I suggested reading Dimensions by Alice Munro: Ms WM read not only the story but the whole book.
