Description
Few doctors have undergone formal training in interpersonal skills, and even fewer are aware of the complex factors that influence their own feelings and emotional responses and of the messages they convey to their patients during every professional consultation. This book addresses the needs of family and other physicians to better understand their emotions, enhance their self-awareness, improve their communications skills, and apply these skills more effectively within the constraints of clinical practice and teaching. A multi-disciplinary approach common to the practice of family medicine is used.

Reviews:
-This book contains many useful reflections on the nature of family medicine. It provides an important contribution to the literature that attempts to understand the experience of being a family physician. —Canadian Family Physician
-The book is important because it raises questions that demand attention if we are to continue as an effective profession. New burdens on the practice of medicine require heightened attention to the emotional lives of physicians; without it, we will have a bunch of disillusioned colleagues. Our work is too important to let this happen. Some might say that this is "soft" stuff and an inappropriate concern. Soft, yes. But it is important and real intellect is necessary to solve these difficulties. It is where we all live. —Annals of Internal Medicine
