Towards understanding the unpresentable in nursing: some nursing philosophical considerations.

While nursing practice embodies certain observable and sometimes habitual actions, much inheres in these actions that is not immediately discernible. Taking on Lyotard's exegesis of the unpresentable, I undertake an analysis of the unpresentable as it occurs in nursing practices. The unpresentable is a place of alterity often excluded from dominant discourses. Yet this very alterity is what practising nurses face day after day. Drawing from two nursing situations, one from a hermeneutic phenomenological study and the other from the literature, I elucidate the unpresentable from a nursing point of view. Evoking Lyotard as well as selected philosophers from the continental philosophical tradition, I also question whether nursing in its present discourse is capable of responding to the unpresentable in nursing situations. Through the philosophical stance of presentation and representation, I delineate the urgent need to bring the otherness of the unpresentable into our nursing discourse. Nurses in practice confront a wide array of human differences and diversities and come to the realization that no framework alone can ever really have primacy over the multiform presentations of human suffering that so strikingly evoke alterity.

The temporal lobe epilepsy syndrome elucidated through Søren Kierkegaard's authorship and life.

In 1975 American scientists postulated the existence of the temporal lobe epilepsy syndrome. The authors of this paper demonstrate that the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard in "The Book on Adler" 140 years ago has given an eminent phenomenological description of this syndrome. The authors at the same time state the hypothesis that Søren Kierkegaaard's description of Magister Adler actually might be a disguised self portrait.

Disclosing the details of child sexual abuse: can imaginative literature help ease the suffering?

PROBLEM: Research indicates that full disclosure of the events surrounding child sexual abuse, while therapeutic, is often difficult to achieve. METHODS: A nonconventional research approach was employed in order to examine more closely the lived experience of these children. Two novels were analyzed using close reading. FINDINGS: Details of the events and resultant dehumanization of the children were uncovered, as well as the rescuing role of the ancestor. Writing emerged also as a therapeutic tool that facilitated disclosure and helped to promote healing. CONCLUSIONS: The analysis of imaginative literature enables the reader to examine sensitive topics like sexual abuse and contributes to its treatment.

Once upon a time...

In this, the first of two articles discussing literature for and about children, we will be considering how writing for the young has changed, reflecting different and evolving perspectives on childhood. In the second article we will be asking whether literature can be used creatively and usefully in the training of doctors. The suggestion for the topic arose from a session we organised for paediatricians in the Communication and Management module of the MSc in Child Health at Leeds University.

Delusional misidentification in autobiographical narrative.

The authors examined an autobiographical account of delusional misidentification found in Daniel Schreber's Memoirs of My Mental Illness. It is argued that writers with a history of mental illness can provide unique and accurate descriptions of complex psychiatric phenomena. These descriptions can convey the subjective experience of psychopathology and aid our understanding of the mechanisms giving rise to phenomena such as delusional misidentification.
