Write 8 pages with APA style on Relationship between a Health Care Practitioner and a Person Seeking Treatmen. There is a significant increase in the trend of using CAM. A therapeutic relationship is referring to the “relationship between a health care practitioner and a person seeking treatment” (Stone and Katz, Chapter 8 The therapeutic relationship and complementary and alternative medicine, p. 206). According to Stone and Katz, “a successful therapeutic relationship restores the patients’ sense of integrity and wholeness” (p. 208). For the therapeutic relationship to work positively, the health care practitioners and the patient should both participate in going through the health care treatment processes (p. 207).
In general, there are similarities and differences in the way orthodox health practitioners and CAM practitioners establish and maintain a therapeutic relationship with their patients. In relation to the healing effects of the therapeutic relationship, the ways in which the therapeutic relationship between orthodox health practitioners and CAM practitioners differ when dealing with their respective patients will be identified and tackled in detail.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” (Stone and Katz, Chapter 6 Understanding health and healing, p. 144). It simply means that for orthodox and CAM health practitioners to be able to provide a successful therapeutic relationship with their respective patients, both types of health care practitioners should be able to satisfy the physical, mental, and social needs of their respective patients.
Depending on the environmental setting wherein a CAM practitioner deals with the patient, CAM health practitioners normally establish a therapeutic relationship with their patients by first building trust and confidence which is important in terms of developing a positive therapeutic process and outcome between the CAM practitioner and the patient seeking alternative health care treatment (Thorlby and Panton, p. 206).
Orthodox health practitioners establish a therapeutic relationship with .their patients by making use of a holistic approach and giving emphasis on their interpersonal skills which are necessary for determining the patients’ individual needs, health concerns, and health expectations. .
