How Situational Diagnosis Helps Disentangle Ethical and Psychological Features of Complex Cases
We review Marguerite S. Lederberg's 1999 Acta Oncologica article entitled "Disentangling Ethical and Psychological Issues: A Guide for Oncologists," in which she introduces a method of analysis that facilitates clarification of ethical and psychological aspects of complex cases. Based on her understanding of the dynamics at play in patients', family members', and physicians' experiences, Lederberg formulated what she calls "situational diagnosis,…

Medical Student Attitudes Toward Communication Skills Training and Knowledge of Appropriate Provider-Patient Communication
Drawing upon Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives as a theoretical framework, this study examines attitudes toward communication skills training, knowledge of appropriate provider-patient communication, and confidence communicating with patients between first-year and fourth-year medical students at a large medical school in the southern United States. The study findings indicate that fourth-year medical students do not differ from first-ye…
SPIKES—A Six-Step Protocol for Delivering Bad News
We describe a protocol for disclosing unfavorable information—“breaking bad news”—to cancer patients about their illness. Straightforward and practical, the protocol meets the requirements defined by published research on this topic. The protocol (SPIKES) consists of six steps. The goal is to enable the clinician to fulfill the four most important objectives of the interview disclosing bad news: gathering information from the patient, transmittin…

The Relation of Chest Pain Symptoms to Angiographic Findings of Coronary Artery Stenosis and Neuroticism
The present article examines the relations among self-reported and physician-estimated chest pain variables to angiographically determined coronary stenosis (CAD) and neuroticism scores. Six of the 48 chest pain variables were significantly related to coronary stenosis, but only one variable, chest pain elicited by walking, was positively related to stenosis. Chest pain during sleep, sighing and dizziness accompanying chest pain, right lower ches…
A Behavioral Analysis of Chest Pain in Patients Suspected of Having Coronary Artery Disease
A group of 83 men and women who had been referred to Johns Hopkins Hospital for cardiac catheterization for evaluation of chest pain and possible coronary artery bypass surgery were assessed behaviorally for their chest pains. During the approximately 2-week period between clinical evaluation and catheterization, the patients completed self-report forms about their chest pains. Patients completed one form for each episode of chest pain. Referring…
A Behavioral Strategy for Promoting Treatment Compliance Following Myocardial Infarction
Seven men who had recently experienced a myocardial infarction were treated for medical noncompliance. Patient selection was based on recent and past noncompliant behaviors, denial of infarct, and degree of job involvement. Treatment strategy included (1) self-planning of a rehabilitation program by the patient (activity hierarchy), (2) self-monitoring of bio-behavioral data, (3) weekly visits to review data and decide on new activities. Results …
