This volume is about the doctor-patient relationship and how that is established primarily through the medical interview. The author emphasizes the difference between the illness - and the patient's disease as seen by the doctor. Through a number of illustrative doctor-patient interactions the author shows how patient satisfaction and compliance to the medical regimens can be increased. The book includes a chapter on grief and its manifestations in medical practice, and an introduction to history taking. The book should be of interest to first- and second-year medical students, as well as current medical practitioners.
