Medicine, Health and the Arts
In a 2003 issue of Medical Humanities, Stephen Pattison outlined his vision
for the medical humanities as a field of study that:
[W]ould prize diversity of forms . . . It should aspire to be a “broad
church” of many languages and kinds of performance and analysis, in
which bridges are built and conversations occur that reveal things to
participants that they could not have learned within their own original
limits and worldviews. By the same token . . . homogenisation and regu-
larisation of thought, method, and practice would be actively resisted.
(Pattison 2003: 34)
Pattison’s comments were made in relation to his fear that the medical
humanities would become marked by homogeneity rather than dialogue,
particularly if they grew in popularity and were consolidated into an
‘autonomous’ discipline. To date, Pattinson’s fears appear unwarranted.
