Chapter 15.Changing the Culture
Sections
Excerpt
Clinicians these days do much more than treat patients. Motivating people and helping them change is a ubiquitous request. From managing interdisciplinary teams to directing units, divisions, departments, and hospitals, we are often called on to fill leadership positions. We are routinely recruited for such roles primarily because of our training in human behavior and our profound interest in what other people have to say. Although we sometimes frown on administrative and managerial tasks—“I did not go to medical school to learn how to hold meetings!”—a number of us are finding that the principles discussed in this book apply to a wide range of activities beyond the psychotherapeutic dyad. Furthermore, managing people from a humanistic perspective can be as rewarding and gratifying as treating patients.
