About Literature and Medicine
The database About Literature and Medicine is meant for researchers. There are many books with essays about literature and medicine, or about a certain general topic in the field of literature and medicine. These books are gathered in this database, with a short description and a pdf of the contents table. Furthermore, many articles about literature and medicine are gathered in this database. At the moment 10 books and 990 articles are available.

Poetry

Pathographies
Many patients with a (chronic) disease will read sooner or later an autobiography of somebody with the same disease, a pathography. These pathographies are accounts of experiences, most of the times not meant as literary works. It is said that reading these pathographies helps in understanding what is happening to the reader, although not everyone agrees with this statement. The idea of this database is that it is a collection of unfiltered pathographies, sometimes with a short description, but without any comment. The keywords are diseases. The database Pathographies has started modestly with 142 entries. It is a very modest and random collection at the moment, but will grow hopefully. Sometimes these pathographies have also literary value. In that case, a more extended description with citations has been added to the novels and stories database. We are looking for an enthusiastic person to help us with this database.
