Resumen
The chapter outlines the theoretical foundations and methods of autobiographical pedagogy and its importance in the current context. The centrality of the narrative method for care settings in general and specifically for the care of the elderly is highlighted. With reference then to the medical humanities, the importance of the community dimension among individuals is underlined, also in order to recover a global perspective able to counteract the current fragmentation of knowledge. The fundamental contribution comes from the humanistic tradition, from arts to literature, that gives great weight to the 'story' and to the process of writing of them.
