Last update: Mgr. Katarína Durecová (24.05.2011)

The aim of the course is to help students to understand the role of psychological processes in shaping doctor-patient interaction and communication. The emphasis will be placed on empathy and communication skills development. Students will also examine the role of basic emotional, cognitive, behavioral, personality, and interpersonal factors in the patients' illness experience.
The psychopathology part of the course presents a typology of specific disadvantageous modes of a person´s perceiving, thinking, feeling and dealing with him/herself and with his/her environment. The aim of the course is to improve students understanding of how to recognize the specific problematic personality patterns (not only in their patients but as well in themselves), to increase the ability to predict of what to expect from such persons in different situations, to understand the psychological explanations for the development of these patterns, and to practice the skills of how to deal with such persons and their difficulties most efficiently.
