Narrative medicine: a matter of justice?

Abstract

This article aims to highlight the bond between narrative
medicine and justice. In the first section, we analyze the method of narrative medicine, in the second one we focus on the relationship between healthcare professionals and patients, and in the third paragraph,
we deal with the principles of narrative medicine. According to these principles, which are deeply related to the features
of narrative medicine (close reading, doctor-patient relationships, listening to stories etc.), it is possible to underline virtuous dynamics
which can empower the role of justice as a main feature in the medical practice.
