I am presuming it is okay with you to stay with this pdoc? Am I wrong? Why do you have to be the one to teach him about bedside manner and how to be more caring and understanding. You say someday he may be a good pdoc. My experience is that mh professionals that are stiff and business like never change or change very little over the years. It is just who they are. I always consider it a complimnet when someone, even a judge, says to me that I am not like most psychologists they have encountered. All I am is just me, and I am friendly and caring and joke with them, etc. Of course I am professonal in court, etc. And when I did therapy, I did not act like a patient's friend, but I did not act indifferent or business like or unsympathetic either.
