To capture the artistic qualities of communication and communication training, we need more sensitive measures of process and we need research models beyond the purely quantitative. Small-group teaching is particularly suited for complex skills, such as communication. But, while existing work has identified the basic elements of small-group teaching, few descriptions of higher-order teaching practices exist in the medical literature (31). Ward and Stein concluded that too much teaching emphasis has been placed on content and not enough on the process of the interview (32).
The dismissing, self-reliant style is reportedly common among medical practitioners and one recent study has shown that dismissing attachment in combination with poor patient-provider communication is associated with poorer treatment adherence in patients with diabetes (14). Attachment avoidance also comes at personal cost for the doctor. Insecure, avoidant adults learn to suppress negative thoughts and feelings, but exhibit heightened electrodermal reactivity in stressful situations (15, 16). Cancer clinicians who remain unaware of their own emotional limitations thus have a toxic potential for themselves, their colleagues and those who come under their care.
