The core question in research in communication in healthcare is how communication and the patient – provider relationship can contribute to a patient’s health and well-being. This is the starting point for the organization of the papers in this issue. Several papers address patient’s perspective or possible perspective; as what do respect and autonomy mean to a patient (Beach), the meaning of symptoms (Estacio), how physicians present a choice in a way that makes it difficult for the patient to voice his or her opinion (Landmark) and how vitality training can contribute to live a good life with pain (Zanghi).
