Basic theories on doctor-patient communication as taught in the course on human behaviour to third-year medical students at the University of Cape Town are outlined, and it is shown how these are understood and used by medical students early in their clinical training. It is on these foundations that the later training in psychiatric interviewing and therapeutic intervention is based. The goal is to train the doctors of tomorrow to care for patients with physical and psychological distress equally effectively.
There can be no doubt about the need for more comprehensive medical education. Increasing pressure has been brought to bear from outside on health care, calling for humanization and extension into hitherto neglected areas such as health disorders due to psychological, professional, familial and environmental problems. A new education and re-education programme must include an ethical basis, communication and cooperation with patients and exchange of the biomedical model for a biopsychosocial model of disease.
