Words can act as a pharmakon, becoming a remedy or a poison. Considering both theoretical tenets and empirical findings, we have convincing evidence on the power of language and words in changing minds and fostering behavioural change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the context of health, it has been underlined how the quality of communication affect (clinical) outcomes, at the individual level (on patients) and the collective or societal level (on citizens). During the current COVID-19 pandemic, it has become even more clear that such communication effect is indirect and mediated by factors such as understanding, motivation, social assistance, trust in the system, etc. Words that are well-spoken but also, obviously, well understood can have a strong impact on the quality of our lives, concerning the clinical, emotional and social spheres. This is why the proper and effective use of words should be considered as a common ethical responsibility: it is an ethical responsibility for healthcare providers that directly take care of patients, but it is also a responsibility of public and private institutions working to promote behaviours favouring the adoption of a healthier life and the building of healthier societies, respectful of other people and more environmentally friendly. What happened from a communicative point of view to justify the need to activate a state of emergency and maintain lockdown restrictions is exemplary in this respect, also to discuss the conflict between values that is pervasive in our complex and interconnected societies. Even beyond the pandemic, many examples can be mentioned to discuss the importance of both the effectiveness and quality of communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is not obvious to find a consensual framework to define what counts as communication of quality, even if rhetoricians investigated heavily on this issue. Not necessarily a successful communication is also desirable from an ethical perspective. Obtaining persuasion \u2013 to be able to change attitudes and\/or behaviours, it is not necessarily equivalent to do it in an ethically way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The links\nbetween rhetoric and health can be therefore analysed from two different points\nof view. From a linguistic point of view, the main problem is to figure out\nwhich communicative strategies are effective to persuade patients (and\ncitizens) in changing a given behaviour and\/or accepting the treatment more\nappropriate to a specific medical condition. From an ethical point of view, the\nmain problem is to figure out which effective communicative strategies are\nlegitimate, meaning they respect values defining both the patient (citizen)\nagenda and the doctor (political\/health system) agenda. The discussions\nconcerning the frameworks of value-based medicine and patient-centered medicine\nfit in this context, as well as fall in this debate the current attention given\nto the frameworks of narrative medicine and persuasive technology (applied to\ntelemedicine, mobile apps, social networks, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vol. 15, N.\n1\/2021 of RIFL expects to explore the links between rhetoric and health, accepting\npapers aim at considering the role of communication in the context of health,\nand papers considering persuasion from an ethical point of view \u2013 at the\nindividual level (between patients and providers) and the collective\/societal\none (between institutions and citizens, between media and citizens).
