ISBN 9781846192869 That experiential change in a person's body that is known as a symptom is both the starting point for the journey that leads a person to a medical encounter and the starting point for the medical encounter.

The Humanities in Medicine – Distancing and the distance between us
In the first issue of this journal Greaves and Evans1 characterised the medical humanities as a spectrum with an additive view of the relationship between humanities disciplines and medicine at one end and an integrated view at the other. The first part of the paper by Louis-Courvoisier and Wenger2 represents a good example of the integrated view of medical humanities, addressing as it does a theoretical underpinning for the inclusion of the teac…

Humanities special studies modules
“ ... the sensitivity of the artist may equal the knowledge of the scientist. Both have the same object, nature, and perhaps in time it will be possible for them to link together in a great and marvellous force which is at present hard to imagine.”1 These are exciting times for medical humanities in the UK, with artists and scientists working hand in hand to help deliver a more humanistic approach to health care.2 The existence of this journal an…
Living with and dying from cancer
We describe a humanities-based, special studies module (SSM) exploring the impact of cancer on the lives of patients, families and professionals. Literature, film, art and drama provide third year medical undergraduates with vicarious experience of all of these perspectives in a format that has proved highly acceptable to students and tutors. The development, delivery, evaluation and evolution of this humanities-based course are described and we …
