Staff v. Patients: The Phenomenon of Rejection
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
It is accepted as professionally unethical for doctors and nurses to be influenced by their (negative or positive) feelings in their behaviour towards patients. ‘Emotional involvement’ with patients, though seldom defined, is usually sternly discouraged during medical and nursing training. As a result many graduates deny not only that they are influenced by their feelings towards their patients but even that they have any feelings at all.
