Exploring the potential for storytelling as a creative practice for
health and well-being, Michael Wilson considers how the art form might
help us reconsider the power relationships in healthcare contexts and
restore agency to patients, in partnership with medical professionals.
Storytelling is explored not simply as a means of conveying
information and experience from one person to another but as an act of
listening, a process for thinking, evaluating and understanding.
Wilson reflects on his over thirty of years of researching and
practising storytelling, and blends his experience with a collection
of case studies representing diverse approaches to storytelling for
health, including theatre, stand-up comedy, writing, visual arts and
digital storytelling. Most importantly, storytelling is approached not
from the point of view of the medical practitioner or educator, or
even the patient, but through the lens of those who tell stories as a
creative and everyday practice. It is a book with the storyteller at
its core.
