Summary/Abstract: This text aims to provide the reader with a general overview of one of Narrative Medicine’s methods, namely close reading, which, as Rita Charon et al. in The Principles and Practice of Narrative Medicine propose, can be used to develop narrative competence, teach healthcare professionals the ability to recognize and know what to do with stories.
