Sammanfattning

X : Disease is more than dysfunctional organs, morphological abnormalities and genetic divergence. It is also about existence, self-conception and social identity. Disease changes us as persons, but how this happens is usually not discussed in medical textbooks. However, literature appears to be rich in descriptions of these perspectives. This article explores The magic mountain by Thomas Mann to elucidate the relationship between personal identity and disease. I will argue that such knowledge is important to modern clinical practice.
