商品簡介
Bailey presents a synoptic view of the doctor-patient-illness relationship, promoting shared understanding and mutual respect. He aims to provide a template onto which all necessary information elicited may be collected for synthesis, promoting better management and improvement in outcomes. Twenty-four chapters are divided into three parts: the synoptic view of the consultation; consultations that go wrong: using the synoptic view as a diagnostic aid; personal reflections on other models of the consultation. He introduces the synoptic view; then doctor, patient, and illness in turn; the patient’s story—fractals, narrative, and somatization; the doctor’s story of the illness; the doctor-patient relationship; working with children; the social context of the triad; the authority of the consultation; the dysfunction of the triad relationship; social context; and models of the consultation. He targets medical students, practitioners, consultants, GP trainees, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists. There is about the author, and references.
