Patient-centred Care - Benchmarks for Busy GPs
Abstract
The concept of patient-centred care originated from many diverse sources such as the ancient Greek school of Cos, the writings of Hippocrates and the holism of Jan Smuts. Patient-centred care has also been derived from client-centred therapy (Rogers, 1961) and a person-centred approach (Rogers, 1980) and is founded on the research of Carl Rogers and others from the 1940s onwards.
