A review of the literature (1995-2001) was conducted on the relationship-centered care model first proposed in Health professions education and relationship-centered care: A report of the Pew-Fetzer task force on advancing psychosocial education. The report describes a developmental process that occurs in four dimensions of relationship-centered care: patient-practitioner, practitioner-practitioner, practitioner-community, and self-awareness. Publications were read and sorted by professional affiliation of the first authors, dimension of relationship-centered care citations from the Pew-Fetzer Task Force report, and references to activities of regional relationship-centered care networks affiliated with the Fetzer Institute. The Pew-Fetzer relationship-centered care model, when included in healthcare professional education, will improve consumer and provider satisfaction.
