Breaking the Cycle

The doctor-patient relationship can reach impasses that cause physicians to feel frustrated and helpless. This practical new title focuses on how changes in the physician's thinking can improve these challenging interactions. Real-life experiences and case studies allow physicians to see how and why these impasses arise and how best to respond. Developed by an internist, health psychologist, and family therapist, "Breaking the Cycle" helps readers turn doctor-patient conflict into collaboration.
