Physician-specific traits such as empathy, trust and personality play a pivotal role in the outcome of treatments. These traits may also have an impact on medicalization; however, little is known about this subject. A physician's personality has an impact on his or her general outlook on life and how s/he acts as a doctor; this may result in errors of judgement and bias. This risk of errors of judgement and bias can potentially have a significant impact on patient-physician contacts and treatment choices. In this article, I describe possible negative consequences of pathological personality traits on treatments and I cover certain errors of judgement and sources of bias that can have an impact on medicalization.
诸如同理心、信任和个性等医生特有的特质在治疗结果中起着关键作用。这些特质也可能对医学化产生影响;然而,关于这个主题人们知之甚少。医生的个性会影响他或她对生活的总体看法以及作为医生的行为方式;这可能导致判断失误和偏见。这种判断失误和偏见的风险可能会对医患接触和治疗选择产生重大影响。在本文中,我描述了病理性人格特质对治疗可能产生的负面后果,并阐述了可能影响医学化的某些判断失误和偏见来源。
