Communicating with Medical Patients (SAGE Series in Interpersonal Communication)

Designed to synthesize a growing international and interdisciplinary body of experience, this volume provides a mandate and a charge to medicine to fundamentally transform the traditional clinical method and the social relations it fosters between doctor and patient and between student and teacher. The contributors challenge the medical establishment to change their clinical method from that of a disease-centred to a patient-centred one. Four sections deal with issues related to the doctor′s own transformation, the medical interview, teaching and learning, and validation.

Primary Care Research: Traditional and Innovative Approaches (Research Methods for Primary Care)

Primary Care Research covers traditional medical-epidemiological methods and non-traditional qualitative methods which are relevant to the discipline of primary medical care - defined as the medical care of first contact. More than just a summary of research methods, many chapters contain examples that can serve as models for readers planning studies of their own. Other chapters deal with the standards appropriate to primary care research. Included are such topics as refining the research question, how the question dictates the method used, epidemiologic standards, case study methods and combining methods in research.

Medical Books

The contributors to this volume challenge the typical stereotyping of quantitative and qualitative researchers, and suggest the need for each to use available tools constructively.  The resources described, selected from many disciplines including health research, medicine, anthropology and psychology, were chosen on the basis of importance and relevance to primary care problems and their unavailability in the traditional medical literature.

Patient-Centered Medicine: Transforming the Clinical Method

Emphasizing holistic philosophy, this important book encourages practitioners to surpass treatment based strictly on a one-dimensional, biomedical assessment of their patients. Among the topics covered are: conceptualizations of ill-health; consideration of the patient as an individual; the establishment of goals and cooperative strategy between physician and patient; and the realistic allocation of time, energy, and other resources of the health care provider.
