Physical therapists are great at evaluating and treating functional movement impairments and disorders, but we may feel less confident about handling the icky, gooey, intangible, "human" side of things. The sadness, anger, aloofness, or "non-compliance" that we see in many of our patients. Dr. Kenneth Miller is studying trauma-informed care and the importance of teaching our DPT students about the affective domain in the hopes of better preparing these learners to become more effective and empathic clinicians.
