Patient Education and Counselling, 10/19/09
Del Vento A et al. – (1) The skilful use of implicit language is a solution to the dilemma of honest but not harsh communication of bad news. (2) Experimental methods can complement surveys and qualitative studies for investigating bad news delivery by providing a theoretical foundation and controlled conditions. Physicians can deliver bad news honestly without being blunt by skilfully incorporating implicit language. The theory, data, and examples presented here provide insights into the nature and functions of implicit language, from which students and practitioners can develop their individual styles.
