I．Background knowledge
1. Author:
Dr. Rita Charonis a pioneer and national authority in the field of literature and medicine,and has written and lectured extensively on literature’s salience to medicalpractice as well as on the doctor-patient relationship, narrative competence, medicalethics.
Her research has focused on communicationbetween doctors and patients, seeking ways to improve the ability of doctors tounderstand what their patients tell them.
Columbia University is the only medical school with a programin narrative competence, in which medical students learn how to better"read" their patients" stories through literary studies.
2. Something about“Narrative Medicine”
Narrative medicine “goes deeper” than aphysical diagnosis .Narratives, Rita Charon said,have what medicine lacks, namely characters, plots and storylines. “Only intelling a story that I can live in the face of time, that I can see somethingsingular,” and referring to an individual person and that person’s story,rather than a name on a chart. “It makes it not just a technical puzzle but alived experience,” Charon said.
I listen not onlyfor the content of his narratives, but for its form—its temporal course, itsimages, its associated subplots, its silences, where he chooses to begin intelling of himself, how he sequences symptoms with other life events.
Such fields as medical interviewing,primary care, literature and medicine, and relation-centered orpatient-centered care have revolved around these “tellings”.
In turn, doctors have learned abouttherapeutic listening from practitioners of oral history, trauma studies,autobiography, and psychoanalysis.
II. Analysis ofthe text
1. 3 aspects of“Narrative Competence”
1st. Textual Skills (文字能力)
2nd. CreativeSkills (創(chuàng)造能力)
3rd. Affective Skills （情感表達能力)
When a doctorpractices medicine with narrative competence, he or she can quickly hear andinterpret what a patient tries to say.
Narrative skills that are important to medical practicehave been identified, and methods of teaching them have been developed.

III．Discussion:
Many previous efforts have been made, fromFrancis Peabody on, to listen to patients and to care about what happens tothem. My patient with back pain — actually a composite of several new patientsI saw recently — revealed to me the connections among his symptoms, hisilliteracy, his failures as a breadwinner, his familial losses, and his life inan alien culture. Armed with such knowledge, available to me most expedientlythrough his personal narrative, I confirmed the gravity of all he told me andshared my optimism that things could improve for him. Together, we made a planto investigate his educational needs and to evaluate his musculoskeletalsymptoms. The more medicine understands the complexities of illness, the betterclinicians can formulate their roles with respect to patients, both intechnical dimensions and in dimensions of meaning. Narrative studies, manyphysicians are beginning to believe, can provide the "basic science"of a story-based medicine that can honor the patients who endure illness andnourish the physicians who care for them.
