Abstract:

Communication is a dynamic process by means of which a message is transmitted, respectively received, for a correct determination of the diagnosis and also for the selection of an optimum therapeutic scheme. The communication process is understood as a constantly flowing fluid whose quality may be influenced by both transmitter and receiver of the message. In due time, such a relational graph tends to become
a real psychological agreement, a concurrently verbal and especially subtle relation. Medical communication is substantiated on the ethic and moral principles specific to health, starting from the idea that a direct connection is operating between the quality of communication and the expected performances. A balanced and continued relation of this type may assure attainment of the final objectives in the medical office.
