PABC Fall 2010 Evening Lecture Series: Considerations for your Special Patient
Lecture one: Handling the Difficult Patient with Barbara Picton BSR. M.Ed, RCC.
Date: Thursday, September 16th, 2010Location: VGH Eye Care Centre at 2250 Willow Street, 7:00 - 8:30pm
While physios are able to build great relationships with the majority of our patients, occasionally there comes along the ‘difficult patient’. What to do?
Barbara invites you to bring your ‘challenges’ to the meeting and use these difficult encounters to learn new effective and professional methods to cope better in the future.
Three important topics that we’ll explore are; grounding/centering/boundaries, understanding how conflict triggers you personally, and learning effective communication skills to use in times of stress.
Barbara Picton has been a physiotherapist since 1969 and a clinical counsellor since 1994. She works in private practice in Vancouver in both of these disciplines and also is an instructor at Vancouver Community College teaching ‘Basic Counselling Skills’. For more information on Barbara’s counselling practice see her web site, www.barbarapicton.com.

Examples will compare a 30 year old with a 50+ year old. - Likelihood of injury
- Response to injury
- Return to activity
