Abstract

Using a broad range of fictional and non-fictional literature could enhance the teaching of psychopathology. The benefits to student learning are enhanced by interaction with health behaviors in the socio-cultural context of the particular story. Often, health issues are presented to students in a decontextualized manner, which takes away from student interest and learning. In this article, we present a case example of the use of literature to teach schizophrenia to graduate students in counseling. We also present a rationale for use of literature to teach about mental health in a multicultural context.
