Techniques of Therapeutic Communication II: Focusing, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing

  • Exploration of palliative care contexts and interdisciplinary teams (IDTs).

Main Results:

  • Formulation provides a structured approach to assess communication needs.
  • It enhances clinicians' ability to select and utilize communication tools effectively.
  • Sample cases illustrate formulation's positive impact on patient psychological needs.

Conclusions:
