“…Also other studies where the patient's perspective is adopted point to the restricted character of their presence in these texts. Such a state of affairs has been confirmed in Helan's (2012) study of the genre at hand in general as well as in Murawska's (2011: 191-192) and Zabielska's (2014) examinations of patient imaging in medical case reports in particular. This suggests treating a patient as "the object of some disease entity" (Mead andBower 2000: 1089) or reducing him/her to the disease he/she suffers.…”

“…The aim of the discursive analysis of the corpus will be to establish the portrayal of the patient in contemporary medical case reports (comparably more patient-focused than other medical genres). Such an analysis was conducted earlier on a smaller number of regular case reports (Zabielska 2014) and the current examination is meant to serve as a continuation of the project. It also refers directly to studies conducted by and Bloor (2016) kidney.…”

“…Elsewhere, the present author demonstrated that in the case of case reports, the mode of presenting the patient with an in-and-out orientation where treatment often means crossing the skin boarder is employed especially in the Discussion section. Here the author of a given publication tries to abstract from a single individual case and to offer a more general view, thus changes the perspective from a given person to the disease against his/her background (Zabielska 2014).…”

Ample research on written professional medical discourse across genres and modalities generally points to the impersonal and dehumanising character of the communication in this particular context. On the other hand, there have been numerous attempts at incorporating the human element into medical texts, be it through different models, sets of guidelines, generic varieties, but also, more holistically, models of medical practice. The objective of the present paper is to study the discourse of case reporting in contemporary medical case reports with respect to patient's presence. To this aim, a sample of regular case reports derived from a prestigious medical journal has been examined with particular attention to textual references to the treated. It will be shown that regardless of the current trend in medical practice in the direction to patient-centredness, regular medical reports, i.e. not special varieties, still bear the features of the biomedical discourse.

“…4 More on medical histories as a genre which is, despite certain shortcomings, significant for the study of the (history) of psychiatric discourse and the conceptualization of madness may be found in Kay and Purves 1996;Berkenkotter 2008;Zabielska 2014;Bertoša 2018. For instance, Berkenkotter believes that, unlike contemporary "narrative" psychotherapists -who, in collaboration with the client, co-create or help create the client's own narrative thus facilitating the externalization of the source of fear, anxiety or inner conflict -in the early phase of psychiatric discourse, the aim of the discipline in recording patient narratives was to establish a diagnosis, justifying hospitalization and treatment.…”

This paper focuses on a specific type of archival material from the first psychiatric institution in Croatia, the Stenjevec Royal National Institute for the Insane in Zagreb, today the Vrapče University Psychiatric Hospital, dating from the period from its foundation in 1879 until 1900. More specifically, it focuses on patient narratives featuring fantastical beings, i.e., narrations about their life relying on the genre of belief legends. Based on this material, which is considered to be an important albeit atypical folkloristic corpus, the paper analyzes and interprets the status and functions of the genre of belief legends (more specifically, the memorate) in daily life narratives, personal stories and in coding affects (primarily fear). The role of belief legends is examined not only from the perspective of oral tradition and literature, but also in terms of their social and psychological position, and through the lens of psychiatric discourse of the time, which recognizes such narratives merely as symptoms of madness, translating and coding them as the language of abnormality and psychopathology.
