Description
The announcement of a serious diagnosis is a solemn moment where directions shift, priorities change, and life appears in sharper focus. It is also a moment when a story takes shape. It is a story we are able to imagine, even if we haven’t experienced it firsthand, because the moment of diagnosis is as pervasive in popular media, television shows, movies, novels, and newspaper articles as it is in medicine.
Exploring stories about diagnosis and pondering the impact they have on how we experience health and disease, Diagnosis: Truths and Tales shares stories written from the perspectives of both those who receive diagnoses and those who deliver them, and confronts how we address illness in our personal lives and in popular media.
Advance Praise
Diagnosis is exciting and important for its close focus on scenes of diagnosis and their recurrence and significance in lived experiences and cultural representations (including film and graphic narrative). Jutel gives us enjoyable and accessible tools for thinking critically about the illness narratives that shape our lives.
Martha Stoddard Holmes, Literature and Writing Department, California State University, San Marcos.
“Annemarie Jutel offers a fresh and insightful examination of how patients and doctors shape stories of diagnosis. Her eminently readable scholarship reveals the power of these narratives to transform our lives—our identities, roles, and futures. This book will help both physicians and patients navigate the difficult terrain of illness and medical care.”
