TASK 3: Choose (with patient) an appropriate action for each problem
TASK 4: Achieve a shared understanding of the problem
TASK 5: Involve the patient in management, encourage acceptance of responsibility
TASK 6: Use time and resources appropriately
TASK 7: Establish or maintain a relationship with the patient that helps to achieve other tasks

9. Helman Folk Model
Every patient comes to a doctor seeking the answers to SIX questions. To be effective, the doctor needs to help the patient verbalise the questions so they can be addressed.
What has happened?
Why has it happened?
Why to me?
Why now?
What would happen if nothing was done about it?
What should I do about it / who should I ask?

10. Process Orientated Balint - the dr, his patient and the illness
Byrne & Long's 6-stage model
Neighbour
Transactional analysis
Calgary-Cambridge

11. Balint "The Doctor, his Patient and the Illness"
Emotional relationship between dr and patient - collusion
Clinician may feel what patient feels - counter transference
Attentive listening helps patients feel better
Doctor as a therapeutic agent in the consultation - "doctor as the drug"
Consultations extending over years - mutual investment company
Listening as a skill that needs to be learned
