The awareness of these dispositions can help physicians improve themselves and the care they deliver to patients, leading to a true patient-centered collaborative therapeutic alliance.

This is a Comprehensive Guide to Dispositionalism in Musculoskeletal Care

This book is a practical and astute guide for physicians who are interested in developing care for their patients in need of musculoskeletal and pain management. The author is an experienced chiropractor and teacher, he demonstrates the dispositionalism model which is a patient-centered approach that emphasizes the need to understand the unique characteristics of each clinical encounter. Vianin argues that there are factors that affect the outcome of treatment that need attention, such as sleep quality, pain catastrophizing, and even the clinician's disposition.

In this book, the author offers practical resources to help clinicians incorporate the knowledge he presents into their daily practice. He also advocates the need for clinicians to address the emotional and psychological symptoms of pain in patients and not just focus on the physical symptoms.

Interesting!

Dispositionalism is a concept that differs from the common models that view the individual as a whole, this method analyzes the condition of a human by separating every causality to understand what is actually happening to the patient, because usually, it is not just one thing, it's a combination of conditions that ills the human body and mind.
It was an interesting approach; as a physical education teacher I have a basic understanding of musculoskeletal care, and I think this book expanded my knowledge and gave me tools and ideas to implement. Nevertheless, I think this book is advanced and should be read by people in the healthcare business; it is definitely technical.
