Abstract

In his article ‘Narrative Matters’, Gordon Bates (Bates,
2016) discusses the relevance of the humanities, and in
particular that of fiction, in helping us to understand the
experiences and problems of adolescents suffering men-
tal health problems. Notably, the number of novels pub-
lished for children and adolescents that focus on mental
health problems has risen considerably since the begin-
ning of this century. The ‘Goodreads’ (Goodreads, 2016)
website lists more than 1000 fiction titles on matters
pertaining to mental illness published for the UK and US
markets since 2000.
