Abstract
In the present issue of Patient Education and Counseling we publish a Special Section, which we have called “Sharing knowledge and shaping identities in healthcare interactions”. The studies in this special section focus on communication practices that health professionals (HPs) and patients use to share information in different healthcare settings, and on how these practices embody different notions of professional and patient identity. By examining audio and video recordings of psychotherapeutic, medical and counselling interactions, the papers illustrate how, in the exchange of information around health, different notions of who the HP and the patient are to one another come into play. For example, different ways of providing diagnostic information, making treatment recommendations, or giving health advice can propose that the patient is more or less independent, knowledgeable, or capable of autonomous choice. These embedded identity proposals can be resisted by patients and negotiated within the interaction. The studies analyse how HPs and patients cooperate in the accomplishment of the tasks of hand, as well as what happens when their agendas diverge.
