Coordinated empathy in attending general practitioners: an interpretive phenomenological approach to constructing a conceptual model of empathy
This study revealed new details about how attending general practitioners coordinate the four components of empathy and how they balance humanistic care with their objective standpoint as physicians. These findings are important in that they provide a model for physicians in terms of providing empathetic care while maintaining professional boundaries.
