BOHORQUEZ G., Francisco  e  JARAMILLO E., Luis Guillermo. The dialogue like encounter: approaches to health`s professional-patient relationship. Index Enferm [online]. 2005, vol.14, n.50, pp.38-42. ISSN 1699-5988.

Health care is the central role of health’s professionals. In the health’s professional - patient relationships health care has left deteriorating in the measure that communication is restricted a more and more technical, distant and colds encounters that avoid the dialogue and they privilege the "information." This outlines a challenge to the health’s professional and to the health’s sciences schools. Today, more than ever, in a world that succumbs in the conflict and the intolerance, is necessary recognizing the human illness, beyond the mere biological fact, as social and cultural fact. In this way is necessary to value the dialogue, like the best form of interpersonal communicating, that it allows the encounter, at once to give sense to our existence and to become human of making sick again and of healing.
