Storytelling: Both Art and Therapeutic Practice

Storytelling has long been recognized as an art form and as a means of conveying and recreating culture through the generations. From a nursing standpoint, storytelling is also an important mode of conveying knowledge and insight to clients, nursing students, and peers. Storytelling can provide a means of bonding, a mechanism for validating experiences, and an avenue for the mutual sharing of information and emotion. Significantly, storytelling allows the teller to impart information that otherwise may not be elicited through verbal or written questions. Surely the art of caring can be enhanced by the art of storytelling.
