<b>Personalize the Communication</b>
</p><p>Medical diagnoses are commonly accepted as providing a classification of understanding etiologies, epidemiology, and pathophysiology of signs and symptoms that frequently cluster.

<b>Specific Techniques</b>
</p><p>Specific therapeutic communication techniques have been discussed as early on as 1969 by Goldin and Russell&nbsp;and have been reiterated and expanded upon since then.<a class="bk_pop" href="#" data-bk-pop-href="#article-127665.r2" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true">[2]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#" data-bk-pop-href="#article-127665.r8" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true">[8]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#" data-bk-pop-href="#article-127665.r24" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true">[24]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#" data-bk-pop-href="#article-127665.r25" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true">[25]</a></p><p>These techniques are summarized in the following table:</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figarticle127665table0"><a href="/books/NBK567775/table/article-127665.table0/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figarticle127665table0" rid-ob="figobarticle127665table0"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK567775/table/article-127665.table0/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK567775/table/article-127665.table0/?report=previmg" alt="Image "></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="article-127665.table0"><a href="/books/NBK567775/table/article-127665.table0/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobarticle127665table0">Table</a></h4><p class="float-caption no_bottom_margin"><i>Technique</i> <i>Explanation</i></p></div></div><p>*Note that eye contact and sitting near the patient for some individuals, including those with psychotic disorders and paranoia, could be destabilizing and should be used with caution.

Communication abilities of the provider have been reported as at least as important as technical competence, if not more so, in assessments by patients.

Indeed, therapeutic communication has demonstrated improved patient satisfaction, among other noted benefits. Patient satisfaction as a concept is a complex and subjective concept, but it has contributed to improved medical outcomes. The mechanism by which therapeutic communication improves patient satisfaction is thought to occur by fulfilling the patient’s expectations and values for the encounter. In turn, this fosters maintenance of the patient-provider relationship.<a class="bk_pop" href="#" data-bk-pop-href="#article-127665.r29" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true">[29]</a>&nbsp;Additionally, another study demonstrated that effective communication styles during history taking and management plan discussion were associated with improved physical health outcomes, functional level, and blood pressure and glucose levels.<a class="bk_pop" href="#" data-bk-pop-href="#article-127665.r43" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true">[43]</a>&nbsp;[Level&nbsp;2] Further study is needed to strengthen these findings.</p><p>Each healthcare team member plays a vital role in therapeutic communication with the patient.

Monitoring the patient’s emotional states from an interprofessional standpoint can also prove beneficial. In particular, monitoring these emotional states can allow for early identification of reactions a patient may be having towards a treatment or provider. In this way, one provider may provide liaison between these potential disruptions to care, address them early and directly with the patient, and simultaneously alert other team members to help patients work through these issues.
