“…Perhaps the clearest objective outcome from the course was that every student wrote a publishable quality essay utilizing the skills and experiences learned in the class. As of this writing, four students (of 13) have had their papers published, [18][19][20][21] while all other students have submitted their manuscripts to various journals. Most of the student participants (three-quarters) stated that the type and format of the course represented the best teaching experience that they had had within their medical training curriculum (and they were in their fourth year of study).…”

“…Table 2 lists the medical conditions, novels and authors that the students drew on in their essays as examples of the range of topics and issues that are raised in a course such as this. [18][19][20][21] Near the end of the Class, which lasted for six months, the students interviewed a patient with a (chronic) illness, usually in the patients' homes. Students reported to be particularly impressed by this interview.…”

In many countries courses on Literature and Medicine (LitMed) are part of the medical curriculum, to develop and teach knowledge and skills in the area of Medical Humanities. We describe a LitMed course designed to encourage medical students at a university medical center to incorporate the biopsychosocial model into their clinical skills. A LitMed course for medical students is described and contextualized within the field of medical humanities with a focus on biopsychosocial responses to illness. The components of the course are presented, along with details of specific relevant novels employed, other study materials, and assignment examples. Preliminary evidence for positive course outcomes included students publishing peer reviewed papers, and enthusiastic faculty response. The course also led to renewed initiatives to incorporate LitMed in the medical curriculum. Suggestions for future teaching activities in this area are provided. Teaching a LitMed course is feasible, strengthens the adoption of a biopsychosocial approach in medical students, and is evaluated positively by students and staff from medical schools.

“…Cardinal's (2005) study explains how the term 'Steppenwolf' from Hesse, has continued to be used in fiction, on the internet, and even in the marketplace, bringing out Hesse's relevance. Briët et al (2012) bring out the possibilities of Hesse's narratives to compare with the present situation and shows the relevance of his narratives in the context of the treatment of his sciatica. The latest study by Moser (2022) speaks about the relevance of exploring the colourful legacy and ongoing effect of the novel, Siddhartha.…”

During the first decades of the 20th century, many European intellectuals were developing negative responses to modernity. Hermann Hesse was aware of the moral and social difficulties plaguing Europe at that time and dealt with these problems in his writing. Despite being a German author, he is well read even today, and his characters' quests and journeys of self-discovery captivate young people worldwide. This study aims to bring out the relevance of Hesse by analysing the historiography of the studies on Hesse's works and interrogating the significance of different perspectives on him, which will open doors for future studies in health humanities and memory studies. The authors systematically analyse 100 studies on Hesse and his works from journals indexed in the Web of Science. It is concluded that Hesse’s literary world, comprised of novels, poems, and autobiographical reflections, is deeper and bigger than what has been discovered.

“…Like his other works dealing with several diseases (5), Beneath the Wheel is an interesting literary piece with an autobiographical slant and an early example of patient narratives in literary fiction in the previous century. It might therefore be advisable to be included in medical humanities courses to better illustrate the ethical value of patient-centred care as epitomized in the Hippocratic aphorism: "There is no disease but the patient.…”
