Abstract
The interaction between patient, family and professional team can sometimes make difficult situations worse rather than better. This flow diagram attempts to clarify the process by which a professional assesses situations and suggests ways in which people can gain understanding about their difficulties. Once everyone has a greater understanding of what is or is not happening, the diagram points to ways in which professionals can use questions to help patient and family create a solution that is workable both for them and for the professionals.Keywords
