Abstract
The violence metaphor is a common means of framing disease. The ascribing of violent meaning to illness has been studied, but limited investigation into the prevalence of this metaphor in the palliative care setting has been done. The ways in which the violence metaphor occurs within palliative care settings was studied, utilizing a lexicon of terms associated with the violence metaphor that was subsequently compared to a dataset of over 300 recorded palliative care conversations. Early results suggest that practitioners are less likely to use the metaphor, and its usage may play a role in overall attitude towards palliative care.
