Main Scale
| The doctor sees patients as problems rather than as individuals and attempts to respond to them without being personally involved. |
The doctor sees his/her patients as individuals, each in their own family and work situation, and tries to build up a relationship with them in which they are encouraged to be more self-aware, questioning, and self-reliant. |
