Arzt und Patient: So klappt die Kommunikation

Some patients are so reluctant to see a doctor that they avoid appointments despite having symptoms. Yet, trust is often crucial for successful treatment, explains dermatologist Dr. Yael Adler. What can be done to foster it? Yael Adler is a dermatologist and venereologist, and as such, she deals with her patients' taboo topics on a daily basis. In her latest book, "We Need to Talk, Doctor!", she describes how doctors think and what patients need. She provides examples from her practice and offers valuable tips on how to improve communication. Through her many years of experience as a practicing physician, Yael Adler knows the kinds of problems that can arise between doctors and patients seeking help. Dr. Adler explains how to establish trusting communication and how both parties can feel on equal footing in her new book, "We Need to Talk, Doctor: How Doctors Think and What Patients Need"—and on the talk show Riverboat.
