Abstract:
Could the novel fulfil a role in the neurologist's daily clinical practice? A good book or story can indeed make the neurology patient's experiences clearer, both for the patient and for the doctor. The novel is no longer just an end-product or form of art, but a method for better understanding disease and experiences. Several neurological examples are given, such as migraine, Parkinson's disease and ALS. The narrative opens a perspective on disease 'from the inside'. Neurology lends itself to a narrative approach, because it is primarily a field to which the patient's story is central.
