I came across this blog from a poster to the MPD Newsletter. He is Michael Goldstein, a Health Care Professional. Michael says, "EmpathyWorks Focuses on the value and impact of empathy and related skills, particularly in health care settings. Topics will include clinician-patient communication, patient-centered care, patient activation, health behavior change and clincian-patient relationships."
Please visit his site, and I think you will like his blog, and what he has to say.
