dc.description.abstract | The aim of this chapter is to show the potential of narrative
approaches in the practice of critical physiotherapy. By combining a narrative approach with gender perspectives, we focus
on the significance of social context and gender for how illness
stories may develop in the clinical encounter. The empirical data
are drawn from interviews with 10 men undergoing a rehabilitation program for chronic pain in Norway. The findings highlight
how the men’s stories usually present pain in terms of a localized
physical disruption caused by forces outside the men’s influence
and control. Their stories adhere to a traditional norm of masculinity which highlights the importance of staying independent
and in control. However, the men’s stories also refer to changes
at work, worries about sick children, divorce and loss of contact with children: in other words, social disruptions and relational
and emotional distress. In the men’s recovery stories, a traditional masculine emphasis on the importance of building muscle
strength is intimately interwoven with a profound human need
for relational support and help from others. By focusing on how
the men’s stories are told, the chapter reveals how changes in family relations and working conditions enter into the men’s illness
narratives through a process of ongoing negotiation between
interviewer and participant. We argue that narrative perspectives are important to critical physiotherapy as a way of promoting individualized treatment and care that transcend traditional
gender norms. | en |
