Lecture Title: Conversation Analysis and Its Application in Medical Interaction



Abstract:

This lecture will review and develop empirical knowledge about the doctor-patient relationship, using recorded medical interactions to analyze the nature and dynamics of routine office visits and touch on other types of office visits. The lecture will focus on the nature and role of norms in regulating doctor-patient conduct, the role of expertise and power in the doctor-patient relationship, and will address methodological questions concerning how the doctor-patient relationship can be most fruitfully analyzed.
