The document discusses the doctor-patient relationship (DPR) and how to build a good DPR. It defines the DPR as an emotional association between a doctor and patient where the doctor helps alleviate the patient's suffering. A good DPR involves effective communication, understanding the patient as an individual rather than just their disease, showing empathy, answering questions honestly, and involving the patient in decision making. Principles of medical ethics like beneficence and autonomy are important to DPR, as are models like the paternalistic, informative, and deliberative models described by Parsons. A good DPR improves treatment compliance, avoids unnecessary intervention, and prevents issues.
