For those of you intrigued by the philosophy of medicine, Tom Davis, philosopher at Whitman College, and I have a book just out from Cambridge Scholars Publishing: “Story by Story: Who I Am, What I Suffer.” Beginning with the “anchor” for our book, the psychiatric condition called catatonia, we examine five stories (four are fictions that I’ve written) of persons suffering from illness. Our process, which amounts to a conversation between us, culminates in the suggestion that a deceptively simple way of speaking, one we label “who/what talk” (WWT), has distinct advantage over the customary use of words like “mind” and “brain,” “mental” and “physical.” Understanding an illness, a “what,” requires understanding it within  a context, that of “who” is suffering (not vice versa). WWT instills an implicit resistance to “medical prejudice.” For our definition of this term, you must read the book!  Available on Amazon or directly from the publisher (https://www.cambridgescholars.com/story-by-story).
