| Summary: | Sometimes patients represent illness and the body by using figurative language, consisting of stories, images, and metaphors. In the case of illnesses there are various possible accounts and narratives: those told by the patients, but there are also those told by doctors and nurses, the auxiliary personnel involved in the clinical counseling sessions and the clinical experience. Illness can be seen as the interruption of the narrative course of a life and for this reason its appearance necessitates the reconstruction, the reconstruction of the account of a person’s life. This essay focuses on moral creativity and the changes it undergoes, regarding the capacity and the ways of telling one’s own story following an illness. Here the values of language, of the words or the silences chosen, take on a particular moral and ethic dimension. |
