Description: Claiming Power in Doctor-Patient Talk by Nancy Ainsworth-Vaughn Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Nancy Ainsworth-Vaughn has been able to tape both male and female doctors in doctor-patient interaction. On the basis of these interviews, she demonstrates that not just the doctor but patients as well wield influence by actively employing verbal strategies to construct different types of power in medical discourse. Publisher Description Nancy Ainsworth-Vaughn studied stories, topic control, "true" questions, and rhetorical questions in 101 medical encounters in US private-practice settings. In exceptionally lucid and accessible style, Ainsworth-Vaughn explains how power was claimed by and co-constructed for both patients and doctors (previous studies have focused upon doctors power). The discourse varied along a continuum from interview-like talk to conversational talk. Six chapters are organizedaround data and include extended examples of actual talk in detailed transcription; four of these data-oriented chapters focus upon dynamic, moment-to-moment use of speech activities in emergingdiscourse, such as doctors and patients stories that co-constructed selves, and a patients sexual rhetorical questions. Two more chapters offer non-statistical quantitative data on the frequency of questioning and sudden topic changes in relation to gender, diagnosis, and other factors. Contributing to discourse theory, Ainsworth-Vaughn significantly modifies previous definitions for topic transitions and rhetorical questions and discovers the role of storytelling in diagnosis. The finalchapter provides implications for physicians and medical educators. Author Biography Nancy Ainsworth-Vaughn is at Michigan State University.
