Physiotherapists talking to patients.
An examination of the validity of Byrne and Long's communication model to analyze a sample of physiotherapists' communication behavior was undertaken. No evidence was found to support the model; instead, a two-dimensional model of communication was strongly supported by the data. It seems that physiotherapists' interactions are best described by one dimension of direction and advice giving and a second, independent dimension of a counseling type of communication.
