Attachment as a Primary Mechanism in Physician Cognition and Bias During Complex Medical Cases: A Narrative Review by Rein C

“…This comprehensive narrative review explores how cognitive bias may act as a critical, yet neglected, factor contributing to the persistent diagnostic error rate.Methods: A narrative review of the literature was conducted through a search of the George Washington University library databases and Google Scholar to identify studies related to physician cognition, complex medical diagnosis, and cognitive error.Results: This review synthesizes existing literature to propose a theoretical framework explaining how cognitive error, clinician cognition, tolerance of uncertainty, and attachment theory interact to influence the formation of cognitive bias at the cost of diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.Discussion: It is not only necessary for clinicians to focus on a patient’s words, symptoms, or data to improve diagnostic accuracy, but also for clinicians to relate to others’ distress through their own attachment styles: technology’s critical blind spot. …”
