There are several reasons why doctors and patients do not examine the social context critically. First, to do so can become emotionally upsetting. Because change might prove difficult, doctors and patients may fear that discussing contextual problems in any depth would create needless frustration and conflict. Second, professional training gives little attention to the possibility of physicians’ working to improve contextual sources of distress. Few physicians in medicine learn to spend much time on contextual concerns in routine doctor⋅patient encounters. A third reason not to examine context involves doctors’ own perceptions that their role is necessarily a limited one. From this viewpoint, a critical discussion of patients’ social context goes beyond what doctors reasonably should be expected to do. Therefore, to study on the building of theirs harmonious human relationship, this paper focuses on the exploring both the disease and the illness experience, the understanding of the whole person, the finding common ground for mutual incorporation(developing an effective management plan requires physician and patient to reach agreement in three key areas: the nature of the problems and priorities, the goals of treatment, and the role of the doctor and the patient), the enhancing of theirs relationship(attributes of a therapeutic relationship, power in theirs relationship, the meaning of the caring and the healing, and the transference and countertransference of theirs emotional feelings.
