Abstract
Abstract This article introduces the concepts of narrative environment and narrative care to discussions of human caring. Human beings are storied beings, it proposes, and our identity is tied to the narratives through which we interpret our experience. Appreciating the narrative complexity of the people with whom we interact is thus the heart of narrative care. However, since lives are storied not in a vacuum but in several intersecting settings (family, community, and culture), the practice of narrative care, for example in health-care settings, is contingent on fostering narrative environments in which, first and foremost, people's stories are acknowledged and honored.
