Story by Story : Who I Am, What I Suffer / by Robert Arnold Johnson and Thomas Alderson Davis. - Newcastle-upon-Tyne : Cambridge Scholars Publisher, (c)2019. - 1 online resource (174 pages)
Includes bibliographies and index.
This volume brings together two authors, one a psychiatrist, one a philosopher, to listen to one another's reading of five stories of what it's like to bear a different mental or physical illness. The beginning story, or anchor, for the conversation that unfolds between them is that of a person subject to recurring spells of catatonia, the uncanniest of human conditions. They discover that truly understanding what an illness is calls for understanding it within the context of who suffers it, that to understand illness is to establish the right relation between what is being suffered and who is.
