“Many claim to have coined the term “information therapy”. The fact is that information “therapy” has been practiced by providers for decades, without their really knowing it. When each of us visits our doctors, we receive information – even if we don’t remember 90% of what we are told. Historically, physicians provided verbal information to patients and families about diagnosis, condition and treatments. They would usually supplement that with drawings, pictures or other visual aids. Over time those became more sophisticated, along with printing techniques.”
