Communication between elderly people and their health care providers is becoming more important due to the chronic nature of geriatric health problems and their impact on quality of life. At the core of the challenge of improving this dialogue are factors related to essential human values and the clash between two different cultures – one scientific and the other personal. Only by gaining an understanding of this clinical decisionmaking interaction can new approaches to bridge the communication gap be developed. The purpose of this paper is fourfold: (1) to summarise the fundamentally different bases for communication between health care provider and patient, (2) to discuss the shortcomings of various methods (such as advance directives) to embody patients’ wishes about their care, (3) to review new models of geriatric care that have implications for this communication process, and (4) to develop a framework – based on biographical methods and the concept of empowerment – that suggests some potential solutions to these communication problems. Such methods reflect new approaches to developing life stories and themes suggestive of ways to retain the personal life voice of the individual in the development of a clinical partnership with the health care provider
