Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag av avhandlingen:
This is a discussion of what poetry has to do with medicine. It is about the psychological necessity and communicative purpose of art, with poetry as an example. It is about what poetry demands of the poet - humility, undogmatic diligence, resilience in the face of complexity, and the ability to think and feel at the same time. It is about a vital servic poetry performs for poet and public which is unamenable to instrumentalisation and systematisation.
This is also about the communicative potential of illness, and the therapeutic need for this to be heard. It is about the receptive, interpretive demands this places on doctors, who, unlike artists, are trapped within a model which does not support a receptive, interpretive stance. It is about the ineffectiveness, waste, and inhumanity which can result when the body´s hidden communication is misunderstood, and the toll this takes on doctor and patient.
Fortunately, creative, interpersonal elements live on in many clinical encounters, despite a climate in modern healthcare which favours operationalisability over understanding. This argues that clinical medicine must oppose unopposed empiricism, and reassert the irreducible therapeutic power of the doctor´s skilled, diligent, attentive human presence. It is a doctor´s call to rediscover the poetry in medical practice.
