Metaphor is well known to be a linguistic and cognitive tool that we use to think and talk about subjective, sensitive and complex experiences in terms of experiences that tend to be simpler and more intersubjectively accessible.
Illness is one of the experiences that are often talked about and conceptualized through metaphor. In this lecture, I discuss the metaphors used by people with three different health conditions: schizophrenia, chronic pain and cancer.
I show how people with all three conditions exploit metaphors creatively for a range of purposes, including emotional disclosure, reconceptualization and self-empowerment. I also demonstrate how, in all three cases, the insights provided by metaphor analysis can lead to a better understanding of the lived experience of patients, with practical implications for better interventions and support.
I discuss particularly the ‘Metaphor Menu for People Living with Cancer’, which has recently been made available as a resource for patients. I finish with some observations about the use of metaphors in the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. [-]
