However, the mechanisms underlying such effects are poorly understood. To gain insights that would be useful to the arts-in-health field, the current paper applied collaborative autoethnography to the questions, \"How do artists manage their creative process? How might this process be helpful for adolescents with depression?\" In an unstructured exchange that took place over 5 years, the two authors (a poet/teaching artist and a child and adolescent psychiatrist/researcher) explored the intersection of the artist's strategies for creative practice and mental health. Personal narratives, analytic memos, and detailed conversations exchanged through emails were collected and reviewed through the reflexive lens of collaborative autoethnography, by exploring the artist author's personal experiences from her creative practice, and the child psychiatrist author's reflexive responses, drawing on her patient care experience. Through the conversations, both authors became aware of the connection between the goal of the artist (to create art) and the goal of the physician (to aid in healing). The authors extracted six strategies and developed a concept framework, \"artist mindset,\" which also had significant potential relevance to adolescents who are navigating depression. The artist mindset, a set of strategies that can promote creative practice but also holds promise in application to navigating depression, offers a helpful framework and a unique approach to treatment.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144761746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay explores the cultural and cognitive resilience of the panacea archetype, tracing its transformation from ancient elixirs and patent medicines to contemporary pseudotreatments, including homeopathy, Radithor, MMS, and ivermectin. These so-called cures endure not merely due to misinformation but because they are embedded within emotionally and cognitively compelling narratives. Drawing from mythology, literature, cognitive psychology, and historical analysis, we examine how panaceas offer more than promises of healing: they provide meaning, control, and hope, especially during times of crisis and uncertainty. Key narrative patterns-heroic discoverers, persecuted truths, villainous establishments, and testimonial-driven validation-align with cognitive biases such as confirmation bias, illusion of causality, and need for cognitive closure. These dynamics are further amplified by digital echo chambers, institutional distrust, and the politicization of medical beliefs. The persistence of panaceas is not merely a failure of science communication but a reflection of deep human vulnerabilities-emotional, epistemological, and social. Understanding the structure and appeal of these narratives is essential not only for combating medical misinformation but also for restoring public trust in scientific and medical institutions.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144676022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article examines Sacks' enduring influence on neurosciences, highlighting his contributions to narrative medicine and his role as a key figure in the \"third culture,\" which bridges science, the humanities, and the arts. While often criticized during his career for sensationalizing science and allegedly exploiting his patients by portraying them as a \"freak show,\" Sacks ultimately gained recognition for humanizing medical practice. Furthermore, his work brought the complexities of neurological disorders into public awareness while emphasizing the subjective experiences of patients. Though some of his methods were unconventional within twentieth-century neurology, Sacks is best understood as part of a tradition within the neurosciences that prioritizes the subjective dimension of experience. This article situates Oliver Sacks' contributions within the broader frameworks of clinical humanities, offering a critical analysis of the context of his work. It also explores key challenges confronting the neurosciences of subjective experience, particularly the need to enhance the scientific rigor of verbal data analysis through qualitative and neurophenomenological methodologies. Given that the understanding of neurological and neuropsychological disorders cannot be fully captured through biological and behavioral variables alone, qualitative approaches that examine the subjective experiences of illness are indispensable. These methodologies not only promote a humane and inclusive perspective but also provide a rigorous framework for illuminating the subjective dimension.","PeriodicalId":45518,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Humanities","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144250193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
