When patient meets doctor, as well as engaging in a transaction
with a clinical purpose, they react to one another as people. Their
personalities and ability to make relationships in general also
affect the professional interaction. As with other relationships,
things can go wrong. The outcome of the consultation may not then
be what was hoped for or intended on either side. This 1994 book
considers the factors which may cause problems in the
doctor-patient relationship, emphasising and explaining the often
unconscious personal aspects of doctor and patient within a model
studied from various perspectives. Through this insight doctors can
be helped to manage their interactions with patients within their
own consultational style, thereby avoiding many unnecessary
professional relationship problems. This analysis, which is
well-illustrated by clinical case vignettes, is sure to be welcomed
by clinicians, trainees and course organisers in all areas where
communication between individuals plays an important role.
