FRENCH 75N: Narrative Medicine and Near-Death Experiences (ITALIAN 75N)

The goal is not to understand whether the stories are veridical but what they do for us, as individuals, and as a culture, and in particular how they seek to reshape the patient-doctor relationship. Materials will span the 20th century and come into the present. Taught in English.
