Until recently, the content, structure, and function of communication between doctors and patients has received little attention and has been excluded from the realm of scientific inquiry; as a result, most clinicians have had little formal training in communication skills. In this paper leaders in doctor-patient communication present four approaches that are currently used as the basis for clinical training and research, summarize the progress made in forming a consensus, and outline the implications of these perceptions for practicing physicians.
直到最近，医患沟通的内容、结构和功能很少受到关注，一直被排除在科学探究领域之外；因此，大多数临床医生很少接受过沟通技巧方面的正规培训。在本文中，医患沟通领域的领军人物介绍了目前作为临床培训和研究基础的四种方法，总结了在形成共识方面取得的进展，并概述了这些观念对执业医师的影响。
