Abstract

Important health decisions are rarely made alone. Shared mind comes into play
when clinicians and patients confront complex situations that require synthesis of facts,
experiences, values and preferences. While social psychologists have described how
individuals behave and interact when making group decisions, only recently has psychology
considered not just individual behaviors but how their minds interact. The purpose of this
article is to approach the process of shared decisions from the perspective of the patient
