It's not a secret that rapport contributes to outcomes in all types of healthcare. How, then, to make sense of our guest C's story about a psychiatrist who ranted about Christmas, laughed at her suicide plan, and gave terrible marital advice? Dr. Patrick Wiita joins the show to talk about education, training, and ethics in the field of psychiatry and how to make the most out of every session with your patients.
