Therapeutic Relationship between Nurse and Patient

Therapeutic Relationship between Doctor and Patient

Introduction

This paper deals with the changing nature of the therapeutic relationship between a doctor and a patient. The case focuses on a girl, Chloe Smith, who has decided to consult a general practitioner regarding the issue of using oral contraceptive pills.

This paper would look the possible suggestions for the relationship the doctor and patient should have over the issue of contraceptive pills.
