Abstract
The communication gap can lead to lack of trust, poor diagnoses and ineffectual treatment. Using research in allied fields of applied linguistics and intercultural communication this article demonstrates the problem of considering patients as deficient in their language resources and suggests the use of arts-based methods for bridging the communication gap in minority and Aboriginal community settings.
