In this book, Peter Shoenberg, Jessica Yakeley, and their contributors discuss two different teaching approaches developed at University College London to help medical students understand the role of emotions in illness, communicate more effectively, and gain a deeper understanding of the doctor patient relationship. The benefits of Wolf and Treadgold's Student Psychotherapy Scheme are considered alongside Schoenberg and Suckling's Balint Scheme to provide clear guidance about how psychotherapeutic theory can be used to inform medical education, with positive results.
