{"title":"Interpersonal managerial skills in the training of dental students.","authors":"A H Schneiderman, M M Schwartz","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Responsibilities of the dental practitioner impose stress situations similar to those of any manager. These deal with elements of interpersonal behavior and skills not customarily taught to the dental practitioner. In an effort to train dentists so that they may better cope with these managerial situations a method was devised using as the primary instrument the Dental Managerial Situation Study (DMSS). The DMSS employs a variety of problem situations that the dentist is likely to encounter as a means of eliciting his or her managerial tendency (Managerial Profile). A managerial profile is then applied for diagnostic and training purposes. In group discussions, most appropriate behavior (i.e. normative responses) is determined and new ways to behave are learned as each student witnesses advantages and disadvantages of certain responses. The method described in this paper imparts a lexicon (knowledge) of alternative coping or non-coping behaviors to managerial situations. The dental practitioner is able to apply this knowledge in future situations in a way that is more coping and thus he or she may alleviate some managerial stress.</p>","PeriodicalId":76412,"journal":{"name":"Refu'at ha-peh veha-shinayim (Tel Aviv, Israel : 1969)","volume":"27 1","pages":"17-22, 15-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11497235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The etiology of any anxiety is sought in early conditioning life experiences; here it may be related to infants' responses to first teething. The universality of dental anxiety makes it a paradigm of psychosomatic disorders. These are conceptualized as pathologic exaggerated reactions to early traumatizing events, a causality not unlike that of conversive-hysteric symptoms or \"normal\" bodily characteristics. Psychiatric-etiologic considerations of dental anxiety are not to be found in the literature. Recalling the cheerful manner in which children's loss of their first tooth is greeted, one gathers that repressed ambivalence is involved.
