The next section proposes to develop and exercise tools, using simulationbased training to promote skills needed for improved SDM.…”

Background Shared decision‐making (SDM) takes place when clinicians help patient identify best course of action in the context of their preferences. Methods The aim of this paper is a narrative review of the literature with special focus on the humanistic dimensions of SDM. Results We show that SDM is largely underused in practice, because of many barriers such as time constraints and poor skills. Conclusions We suggest that listening and empathy are key challenges in communicating uncertainty, which require emotional intelligence and trust building skills. To promote implementation, we propose the development of tools, simulation‐based training and the design of improved measures for SDM quality. While essential for patients, we believe that SDM may restore meaning in healthcare.

“…In the 12 years since that editorial, "Academic Psychiatry" has published a number of studies describing educational interventions to increase empathy in trainees. Seven of these studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] are referenced in Table 1, with details to give a sense of the pedagogical methods and breadth of research designs applied to date. The studies range in size from a report about a single student to a study with almost 100 participants in the experimental condition and 100 participants in the control condition.…”

“…The Consultation and Relational Empathy (CARE) scale in general medicine, 23 which draws on similar concepts to the empathy cycle of Barrett-Lennard, describes and rates basic empathetic interactions in a clinical setting, particularly while listening to patients. One model for teaching empathy to medical students and internal medicine residents combined discussion of why empathy is important with strategising about how to increase empathy in patient interactions, then role playing of clinical scenarios; learner feedback was positive, and learners’ confidence in their ability to use empathy skills in clinical practice increased 24 . Such teaching and evaluation models could provide a framework for empathetic interaction while having relatively straightforward discussions with general medical patients but do not shed much light on how one can interact empathetically when dealing with the interpersonal complexity that psychiatric patients can present.…”

BackgroundPsychiatry has faced significant criticism for overreliance on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and medications with purported disregard for empathetic, humanistic interventions.AimsTo develop an empirically based qualitative theory explaining how psychiatrists use empathy in day-to-day practice, to inform practice and teaching approaches.MethodThis study used constructivist grounded theory methodology to ask (a) ‘How do psychiatrists understand and use empathetic engagement in the day-to-day practice of psychiatry?’ and (b) ‘How do psychiatrists learn and teach the skills of empathetic engagement?’ The authors interviewed 17 academic psychiatrists and 4 residents and developed a theory by iterative coding of the collected data.ResultsThis constructivist grounded theory of empathetic engagement in psychiatric practice considered three major elements: relational empathy, transactional empathy and instrumental empathy. As one moves from relational empathy through transactional empathy to instrumental empathy, the actions of the psychiatrist become more deliberate and interventional.ConclusionsParticipants were described by empathy-based interventions which are presented in a theory of ’empathetic engagement’. This is in contrast to a paradigm that sees psychiatry as purely based on neurobiological interventions, with psychotherapy and interpersonal interventions as completely separate activities from day-to-day psychiatric practice.Declaration of interestNone.Copyright and usage© The Royal College of Psychiatrists 2017.
