摘要

There are three types of doctor–patient relationships: the paternalistic model, the service or consumer model, and the partnership model. Depending on the patient, the situation, and the personality of the physician, the most fitting model should be chosen. There are advantages and disadvantages to each model. The humanistic psychotherapy founded by Carl R. Rogers describes three basic attitudes that promote successful relationship-building: empathy, congruence (authenticity), and unconditional appreciation.
