病についての一考察 -〈病のイメージ〉を通して語られるもの-

Abstract

In this research, the meaning of the illness was studied from the perpective of Image. From listening to the narrative about two types of Illness Image, i.e., "my illness" and "A's illness, " we found that there was a characteristic that the Illness Image was similar to the real image. In addition, there were several differences between 2 images, which indicated that distance between the narrator and these images had an influence. From the syudy of two cases, it was indicated that Illness Image encloses an image of "interpersonal relationship" of the narrator, which could be considered as an important viewpoint in clinical practice.
