Creating difficulties everywhere.

In this essay we link the rationale for the medical humanities with radical hermeneutics, a move that infuses the medical humanities with incredulity and suspicion. This orientation is particularly important at this historical moment, when the evidence-based and competency blanket is threatening to overpower all aspects of medical education, including the medical humanities discourse itself. Radical hermeneutics works relentlessly against the final word on anything, and as such, it provides a critically provocative way of thinking about doctors, patients, illness, health, families, death–in short, the experience of being human. We use three literary examples to illustrate the complex, contradictory, perplexing, and disturbing questions related to a life in medicine: Rafael Campo's "Like a Prayer," Irvin Yalom's "Fat Lady," and Richard Selzer's "Brute."

Without a better understanding of mental disease, patients diagnosed with a mental disease may be mistreated clinically and/or socially, and caregivers and families may be wrongfully blamed for causing the disease and/or for not effectively helping and developing meaningful relationships with the patient as person. In trying to understand mental disease and why its various dimensions raise difficulties for our systems of classification and our medical models of diagnosis and treatment, a framework is required. This framework will connect metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical considerations in ways that are mutually supportive and illuminating. This, in turn, will benefit those who are diseased and those persons who study, classify, diagnose, and treat disease.
