Background: Medicine has been gaining high technological power, essential for many diagnoses and current treatments. On the other hand, one observes the distancing of the physician from what should be his instrument of work: the person.  Bahiana School of Medicine has been implementing actions aimed at integrating the student into the subjective elements of medical practice through such subjects as the Psychodynamics of the Medical Clinic. Objectives: To portray the reality of the teaching of the discipline Psychodynamics in the Bahiana School of Medicine and Public Health; to evaluate the performance of the psychodynamic material taught in the 7th semester of the medical course, as well as the need to teach humanistic fundamentals to the student community of this school. Methods: Case study conducted through documentary analysis, interview with professor of the subject and application of questionnaire. After approval by the Ethics Committee, questionnaires containing sex, age, year of the course, questions related to the subjects developed in the subject were applied, such as doctor-patient relationship, death and dying, medical vocation and humanization etc. Results: The goal of psychodynamics is to provide an integral view of the patient. The questionnaires were answered by 124 students distributed between the 4th, 5th and 6th grades. 88.7% agreed that the subject provided grounds for establishing an effective physician-patient relationship. 91.2% agreed that the subject drew attention to the therapeutic aspect that can have the doctor-patient relationship. 99.2% agree that in order to meet humanity, it is first necessary to humanize. 86.3% of the students agree on the need to teach humanistic fundamentals throughout the course. Conclusions:A Psicodinâmica da Clínica médica vem atingindo os objetivos propostos. Há necessidade do ensino de fundamentos humanísticos durante todo curso de medicina.Background:Medicine has been gaining high technological power, essential for many diagnoses and current treatments.

The "doctor-patient" relationship (DPR) or the "physician-patient" relationship (PPR) has long been recognized as a complex, multifaceted, and complicated balance of engagement between the care-seeker and the care-giver. The physician-patient relationship is central to the practice of healthcare and is essential for the delivery of high-quality health care in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. The doctor-patient relationship forms one of the foundations of contemporary medical ethics. In the present moment doctor-patient relationship (DPR) or physician-patient relationship (PPR) is one of the major issues in health-care throughout the world. The most common complains about the physicians of Bangladesh is their attitude towards the patients. The patients must have confidence in the competence of doctors and should feel that they can confide in him or her. For physicians, the establishment of a good relationship with the patients is also important. In developed countries students are taught from the beginning, even before they set foot in hospitals, to maintain a professional relationship with the patients, to uphold patients' dignity, and respect their privacy. These are deficient in Bangladesh. In addition to service factors, perceived treatment cost is another factor that patients may perceive as excessive. This special article reflects the importance as well as the necessary elements to establish this sacred relationship.

AbstractThe commonly occurring metaphors and models of the doctor–patient relationship can be divided into three clusters, depending on what distribution of power they represent: in the paternalist cluster, power resides with the physician; in the consumer model, power resides with the patient; in the partnership model, power is distributed equally between doctor and patient. Often, this tripartite division is accepted as an exhaustive typology of doctor–patient relationships. The main objective of this paper is to challenge this idea by introducing a fourth possibility and distribution of power, namely, the distribution in which power resides with neither doctor nor patient. This equality in powerlessness—the hallmark of “the age of bureaucratic parsimony”—is the point of departure for a qualitatively new doctor–patient relationship, which is best described in terms of solidarity between comrades. This paper specifies the characteristics of this specific type of solidarity and illustrates it with a case study of how Swedish doctors and patients interrelate in the sickness certification practice.
