THE PATIENT'S TALE
THU. 13 SEP. 19.00-20.30
How stories make sense of suffering
In recent years we have seen a striking increase in the publication of 'patients' tales'. Why are sufferers and carers so keen to write and the public so keen to read? What can literature reveal that science can't explain? Join our guests as they talk about the current vogue for stories of illness and their place in medical health.
Speakers:
* Michael Blastland, broadcaster and journalist and author of Joe, about his severely autistic son
* Francesca Happé, Cognitive Psychologist, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London.
Facilitator:
* Neil Vickers, Lecturer, Department of English, King's College London.
The first in a series of four events exploring medicine and literature. Further events on 11 October, 8 November and 13 December.
To book, please visit www.wellcomecollection.org/events or call 020 7611 2222.
