Psychiatrist and author Christine Montross will be the featured guest in a virtual speaker series entitled, “Telling the Stories of the Health Humanities,” at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 10.
Montross will discuss how story serves multiple roles in the practice of medicine — from patient narrative, to physician reflection, to powerful advocacy tool.
She will focus on the ways these intersections informed the writing of her latest book on the U.S. criminalization of mental illness, Waiting for an Echo: The Madness of American Incarceration.
This project was made possible in part by Detroit Mercy’s Titan Innovation Fund. It’s co-sponsored by the UDM Health Humanities minor development committee, the College of Liberal Arts & Education, the College of Health Professions, the Department of English, and the Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology.
