ABSTRACT
The Medical Humanities go beyond bioethics, cross over multiple disciplines and represent a new way of perceiving, seeing and thinking about illness. They represent a different view that gives value to the human side of treatment, that recognizes in self-narration an authentic and living foundation. Today, the technical aspects of medicine need more than ever to be accompanied by content derived from the arts and social or human sciences that focus on other, but not less important, aspects of being sick or in health. Everyday clinical practice in a "Medical Humanities style" can change the encounter with patients and their families, as well as the relationship with one's self and with colleagues. Adopting this wider perspective allows us to go further than contemporary biomedicine and continue to explore a unique understanding of mankind.
