Summary. An attitude scale was devised to discriminate between the extremes of doctor‐centred, disease‐oriented as opposed to patient‐centred, problem‐oriented (the DP scale). Four groups of subjects (214 in all) were tested with a Likert‐type questionnaire based on this scale. Significant differences in attitude between the groups were found. Educational implications are discussed.
