Higher Education - Education - And There's the Humor of it: Shakespeare and the Four Humors. The Changing Explanations in Mind-Body Medicine module provides teachers and students with the opportunity to discuss the implications of the exhibition “And there’s the humor of it” Shakespeare and the four humors for our understanding of how practicing physicians and medical scientists have, over a considerable period of time, typically explained disease and the factors which cause it.
Looking selectively at Western medicine over its long history and in the most basic terms, it focuses on the recurrent ways in which biological (body-based) and psychological (mind- or emotion-based) explanations have been used to account for diseases of both the body and mind, and it challenges the common assumption that biological explanations are always better.

Your story in this week’s issue, “Birnam Wood,” is set in the seventies in upstate New York, where a young couple house-sit in a picturesque lakeside area called Birnam Wood.
Is there a real Birnam Wood there? What made you choose that name, with its Shakespearean echoes? Not that I know of, though there is a private community named Birnam Wood very close to where I now live in California. And, of course, as you suggest, there is a connection to “Macbeth,” which seemed appropriate here. Birnam Wood could never come to Dunsinane—that is a physical impossibility—and so, presumably, all would be well with Macbeth. For me, there’s something almost Biblical about this story: Keith and Nora are the naïve innocents in their pleasure garden, and Steve is the serpent of temptation. Perhaps.
