The Patient-centred general practice consultation
Year: 1984
Type: article
Abstract: What happens between the doctor and the patient in General Practice? Are the patient's needs met? Dr Levenstein discusses the vital importance for the GP pf having a model to work from during a consultation which is patient-orientated and not doctor-centred. This will help the doctor to ascertain the real reason for the patient's visit, to understand his problems and to enter into his world. Simplified examples of doctor-patient interactions are given to illustrate how the model operates by paying attention to the patient's expectations, his feelings and his fears.
