Psychological Humanities and Narrative Medicine (PsyHuman)

University of Trento – 4 -15 July 2022

By comprising psychological, medical, scientific but also literary, cultural, aesthetic and sociological studies, the PsyHuman summer school fosters an integrated model of health promotion and a conceptualisation of the experience of illness and trauma as at once evidence-based/objective/universal and personal/subjective/unique.

It also aims at exploring the role of narrative-based and intersectional models oh healthcare in developing life skills that can be beneficial in times of strain (such as stress-coping capacity, resilience, and empathy).
