if you had to identify one factor or element of the psychiatrist /patient interaction or of the psychiatrist's method of practice, knowledge of psychiatry...etc
that influenced a progressive outcome of the patient more than anything else, no matter what modality of treatment that you use....
what would it be?
(of course many factors play a part in the outcome of a patient's treatment, and many of them are very important...but what do YOU consider to be the most important to you...something that you try to carry with you each and everytime you see a patient in the hospital/clinic/practice )?
let me start by offering my opinion at this point in my career...I think it is a feeling of genuine connectedness...something that I have found myself trying to establish with every patient that I've ever seen in my rotations(all of my clerkships). of course, some patients I never even penetrate the surface, and still I"m sure that I'm contributing to their health in a positive way (as being part of a team of heatlhcare workers who are still performing very necessary procedures and/or treatments)
In the roadless traveled..Peck seems to identify 'love' as being the most important factor ....
I forget the author, but in a book i'm reading about motivational interviewing, there is the mention of 'empathy' being the most important factor, despite what modality of treatment is used.
