Storytelling definition11/6/2023 ![]() ![]() It came to light that feelings of rejection and isolation caused by his family situation had negatively affected him throughout that year, which was never picked up by professionals. He qualifies this with an example of how a man with a long history of schizophrenia identified one particular year in his life as the worst, which was completely at odds with his social ability and clinical response to treatment at the time. Roberts (2000) in a paper on narrative and mental illness highlights that the 'individually meaningful may not be the same as the reproducibly measurable' (p433). The evidence available on using storytelling in healthcare and healthcare education equally applies to social services. However, there is less documented evaluation of how storytelling impacts on practice and the individual. Storytelling has also been used across social services (Cox and colleagues, 2003) and there are many examples available in the Iriss storybank: lx./storybank. There is a lot written on the use of storytelling in healthcare (including mental health) and healthcare education contexts, to bring about positive change for patients, and promote best practice for professionals (Kirkpatrick and colleagues, 1997 Roberts, 2000 Gaydos, 2005 Hardy, 2007 Charon, 2009 Haigh and Hardy, 2011). Stories are used to educate, train, entertain and communicate messages. The telling is subject to the way a person uses oral (including body language if visual) and written language, or pictures. Stories can be oral, written, visual or digital - communicated in various formats and in different voices. While storytelling often involves live, person-to-person situations without the use of print or technology, modern easy-to-use video and audio technology provide opportunities for people to create and disseminate stories much more widely and informally. The National Storytelling Network and Scottish Storytelling Centre offer comparative definitions, essentially based around words and actions being used to describe a sequence of events and evoke the imagination of the listener. In the words of Kirkpatrick and colleagues (2007) 'storytelling is the individual account of an event to create a memorable picture in the mind of the listener' (p38). However, some research highlights that story is the informal account of lived experience, whereas narrative is a structured interpretation of story, which includes researcher additions and omissions (Connelly and Clandinin, 1990 East and colleagues, 2010 Haigh and Hardy, 2011). The terms 'story' and 'narrative' are often used interchangeably. What is story and storytelling?Ī story is a real or imagined account of events that describes experience. ![]() Case study evidence is provided to showcase the benefits of storytelling in practice. It examines how storytelling has been used across social services to date, considers its value, and highlights some considerations for those creating and using stories. This review explores what story and storytelling is, and whether autobiographical, first-person storytelling has a valuable impact on practice, and can engender positive, meaningful change for individuals who access support. It can be argued that the art of telling, and listening to, stories is at the heart of what it means to be human, how human beings articulate their experience of the world and make sense of it. Stories give us a deeper insight into lived experience - past, present and imagined futures (McAdams, 2007). This Insight was written by Michelle Drumm (Iriss) IntroductionĮver since human beings sat around the fire in caves, they have told stories to help them grapple with life and the struggle to survive (McKee and Fryer, 2002). Due consideration needs to be given to ethical issues in storytelling and telling stories has the potential to be demoralising and disempowering for the teller.Personal storytelling benefits the teller as it can empower, encourage personal growth and build resilience.Rapport, trust and care can be nurtured in practitioner-service user relationships through storytelling.Hearing personal stories engenders greater understanding, empathy and reflection.Listening to stories facilitates better person-centred care and can lead to improved services.Storytelling influences change at individual practice as well as organisational level. ![]()

Luminar NEO will help professional photographers prepare their photos for publication. The Relight AI and portrait tools are excellent for fashion and editorial photography. Luminar NEO’s AI tools are sophisticated enough for high-end photo editing. Luminar NEO makes it easy to transform dull and drab photos into algorithm-busting images. The AI templates and modes are perfect for social media content creators. Photographers from lower-level enthusiasts to seasoned professionals will love Luminar NEO. And the new overlay features give the program broad appeal. We’ll take a deeper dive into all these updates as we go through Luminar NEO. And of course, they use the power of AI to transform editing. How could we forget the Luminar NEO extensions? Since the original release of Luminar NEO 1.0, Skylum released seven extension packs for specialist editing. And it’s another example of Skylum making a complex task simple. While this is more of a niche tool, it revolutionizes the way you’ll edit images. ![]() The editing toolset has been taken even further with the Clone tool. And while some found the wait frustrating, the tool is a big success. This is such an important tool for many editors. The Dodge and Burn tool is another updated feature. And after the latest update, the histogram is now visible in the Tools and Edits section in the Edit module. But we’re happy to see a histogram in the latest version. It was a bit of a surprise that this was left out of the original release. You also get a histogram for more detailed editing. Does it succeed? Keep reading for our verdict. It’s another AI toolset to revolutionize photo editing. The Portrait Background Removal AI has finally made it to the Luminar NEO toolbox. And many were disappointed not to see it in the original public version. Masking was a big promise during the buildup to Luminar NEO’s release. The Mask AI tool was the first headline tool in the early updates. The team has been listening to user feedback and updating the program continuously. But Skylum doesn’t take its users for granted. And from the start, photographers have been loving the program. Luminar NEO has been with us for a while now. This broadens NEO’s appeal, taking it in an Adobe Photoshop direction. We’re happy to see Skylum take NEO in a different direction, adding Layer and Mask AI tools to the program. Luminar NEO offers the same AI tools, but the new high-speed core engine improves speed and performance. But like many others, we encountered performance issues. ![]() ![]() We were impressed with the AI tools in Luminar AI. They’re adding new tools to make Luminar NEO a distinct improvement from their previous software products. But with each update, a new piece of the puzzle is added. And it hasn’t yet reached its final form. Luminar NEO is a new software from Skylum. There are features to improve portraits, a Relight AI, and dozens of presets for easy improvements. Power line and Sky Replacement AI tools have turned tedious and time-consuming tasks into one-click operations. Skylum is using AI to streamline the photo editing process. But NEO sets out to fix some of the issues users faced with Luminar AI.

Incomplete emptying / residual urine and dribbling are examples of post micturition symptoms. This group includes symptoms of voiding difficulty such as weak urinary flow, hesitancy and straining. Nocturia means increased voiding at night. In this group we find bladder problems like increased frequency, urgency, urgency incontinence and nocturia. LUTS can also affect women mainly by chronic constipation, obstruction from a pelvic organ prolapse or stricture. It is also often used to describe prostatism (a disorder resulting from obstruction of the bladder neck by an enlarged prostate gland) and therefore more commonly used for men who have lower urinary tract symptoms. LUTS are broadly grouped into obstructive symptoms or irritative symptoms. LUTS is a term used to describe a range of symptoms related to the Lower Urinary Tract (bladder, prostate and urethra). These symptoms are often described as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
