Hello Sonia,
It doesn't matter if you are a PT..you are asking a great question!
Unfortunately, I do not know of any research in this area in physical
therapy. Have you looked in the medical literature?
You might also want to look at literature under the category of "empathy"..
it seems that if there is anything, it would be there...
There are two United States PT authors who predominately write about
Patient-Practitioner Interaction.... Ruth Purtillo and Carol Davis.... if
you look up their books or research, you MIGHT find something there.
Good luck and if it isn't too much trouble, I would love to know how your
paper turns out.
