Abstract:

The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.” (William Osler, 1849-1919). Genres in institutionalised communication - such as the medical consultation and the informed consent in clinical settings - can benefit from drama to achieve a more effective and ethical dialogue. The aim of this talk is to present two current research projects - funded by Universitat Jaume I and MINECO - developed by the GENTT group at UJI whose aim is to understand and improve doctor-patient communication in multilingual and multicultural healthcare settings by means of scripts and role plays. Multidisciplinary discussion involving actors, doctors, linguists and translators will also be addressed.
