Communication is a lifelong learning process.

Verbal communication depends on language or a prescribed way of using words so that people can share information effectively. The critical aspects of verbal...

Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch

The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...

The ingestion of substances like stimulants or hallucinogens leads to chemical alterations in the brain that...
Psychodynamic Therapy01:29

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapies emphasize the exploration of unconscious processes and early childhood experiences as fundamental contributors to psychological difficulties. These therapies, deeply rooted in Freud's psychoanalytic theory, aim to uncover and resolve unconscious conflicts, granting individuals insights that promote emotional and behavioral healing. Contemporary psychodynamic approaches have evolved, integrating a broader range of influences and methodologies while still valuing the...
Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in situations...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Psychology
  • Communication Skills

Background:

  • Effective patient communication is crucial in Family Medicine.
  • Identifying psycho-social concerns rapidly improves patient care.
  • Hypnosis training may enhance observational and communication skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if introductory hypnosis training improves residents' communication skills.
  • To assess if hypnosis training helps residents identify patient psycho-social concerns faster.
  • To evaluate the impact of hypnosis on recognizing non-verbal cues.

Main Methods:

  • Five Family Medicine residents attended a hypnosis workshop.
  • Residents were videotaped interviewing a standardized patient before and after training.
  • A blinded observer analyzed tapes for non-verbal communication comments and time to address patient concerns.

Main Results:

  • Residents made more comments on non-verbal behavior post-training.
  • Time to address the patient's primary concern was reduced, though not significantly.
  • A strong negative correlation was found between non-verbal cue comments and time to uncover the patient's hidden agenda.

Conclusions:

  • Hypnosis training enhances awareness of non-verbal cues in medical residents.
  • Increased non-verbal cue recognition aids in uncovering patients' hidden agendas.
  • Hypnosis training shows potential for improving diagnostic communication in Family Medicine.
