Fwd: A Taxonomy of Listening and its Clinical Symptoms/ 10/8/2010

Hi,

I am not at Harvard currently, but my email is still active.  This  
topic is interesting to me and thought I'd pass it along for others to  
ponder....

It's clearly related to our work, but to my knowledge, we've not  
explicitly captured, though we are all aware of its importance it  
being able to build the infrastructure.

So, where does it fit into our HCLSIG work in terms of content (not  
process)?

TMO? COI? Scientific Discourse?

Cheers,
Joanne

> Overview:
> Patients continually indicate that a "doctor who listens" is at or  
> near the top of their lists of desired attributes in describing  
> their ideal physician. At the same time, the complains that "doctors  
> do not listen" is ubiquitous. This seminar will explore this  
> apparent paradox by dissecting the following questions:
>
> 1. What is listening and how can it be understood?
> 2. What work does listening perform in the clinical encounter?
> 3. Why is it the armature upon which the clinical method is anchored?
> 4. What are the syndromes of deafness found amongst clinicians and  
> what is their pathogenesis?
> 5. Can listening skills be taught and if so, how?
