Abstract:

This new and pathbreaking volume provides a comprehensive discussion ofcommunication between doctors and patients in primary care consultations.The first of its kind for thirty years, it brings together a team ofleading contributors from the fields of linguistics, sociology and medicineto describe each phase of the primary care consultation, identifying thedistinctive tasks, goals and activities that make up each phase of primarycare as social interaction. Using conversation analysis techniques, theauthors analyze the sequential unfolding of a visit, and describe thedilemmas and conflicts faced by physicians and patients as they workthrough each of these activities. The result is a view of the medicalencounter that takes the perspective of both physicians and patients in away that is both rigorous and humane. Clear and comprehensive, this bookwill be essential reading for students and researchers in sociolinguistics,communication studies, sociology, and medicine.
