Abstract
This paper reviews the literature on the nonverbal aspects of physicia n-patient interaction, focusing on how expectations about patient invo lvement are conveyed and negotiated by physicians and patients. Import ant outcomes of this process, such as satisfaction, adherence, and pat ient health, are examined. A model of physician-patient negotiation in volving four interaction styles is presented to examine the negotiatio n process and the effects of patient involvement on outcomes.
