The aim of this series of articles is to identify and characterize the main linguistic and struc-tural features of medical case reports in the field of psychiatry and psychology. The series of papers is divided into to two parts: theoretical and empirical. The main purpose of the first part is to present the theoretical background of the discourse of psychiatry and psychology as well as the characteristics of case reports of these disciplines. In the paper, the present authors also demonstrate the structure of the case reporting of psychiatry and psychology, including the instruction for authors given by the American Psychological Association. Also, the narrative approach, the patient’s stories appearing in these texts as well as one of the main elements of the case reports, i.e. ‘case conceptualization’ are discussed. The second part will be an empirical one. The main research question is whether the case reports of psychiatry and psychology are typical representatives of the microgenre or whether they are different with respect to particular levels of the texts. The case reports of psychiatry and psychology will be compared with the case reports of clinical and surgical disciplines, for instance from cardiology or otorhinolaryngology.

The aim of this paper is to draw attention to the potential didactic value of medical series in the context of patient-centred and biomedical approaches to medical practice, as well as to the way they are represented in language. We shall argue that these two paradigms dictate given modes of reasoning as to, for example, what health/ disease is and the patient-doctor role relationship. The biomedical model establishes disease as a malfunction of the body (which can be restored) and the patient as a passive recipient of treatment. By contrast, patient- centred medicine advocates a holistic approach to wellness by taking into consideration psychosocial aspects. Having these two models in mind and by adopting a social-constructivist approach to language, it is possible to analyse communication in a particular (pop)cultural text and examine the message from the perspective of mediated content about broadly understood health. The paper is organised as follows: it starts with a discussion of the evolution of medical TV series and a systematic review of studies dealing with their pedagogic role. Next it provides the analysis of two seasons of the Polish medical series Medics (Pol. Lekarze), giving special attention to the holistic presentation of the patient found in this multimodal media text.
