As a result, in daily neurosurgical practice and during the process of training new neurosurgeons, humanistic principles receive little attention, and scientific and technical aspects dominate. 3 Therefore, the humanization of the neurosurgeon must begin from the first years of residency, medical school, and even high school, as the development of the ability to communicate and interact with patients and their family members requires time and preparation. Moreover, neurosurgical centers should advocate for the design of models of humanization, including an environment for neurosurgeons, patients, and families that allows informal physician-patient contacts not related to the disease (e.g., conversations on current topics, humanistic use of patient consciousness, and spheres of subconsciousness).	./cache/cord-322052-zsbisk3b.txt	./txt/cord-322052-zsbisk3b.txt
