The aim of the study is to describe the doctor-patient-companion interaction in the Italian General Practice compared to dyadic encounters. 819 videorecorded visits were included. 650 (79,4%) were dyadic visits. 153 (18,7%) were doctor-patient-companion encounters in which the third party was a legitimate companion (n=24; 15,7%), or an "illegitimate" one (n=77; 50,3%) or a patient him/herself (n=52; 34%). In 16 visits (1,9%) more than two people interact with the doctor. The study constitutes a stimulus in order to favour an Italian contribution about a new international perspective on the doctor-patient relation that is clinically relevant.

Abstract
The aim of the study is to describe the doctor-patient-companion interaction in the Italian General Practice compared to dyadic encounters. 819 videorecorded visits were included. 650 (79,4%) were dyadic visits. 153 (18,7%) were doctor-patient-companion encounters in which the third party was a legitimate companion (n=24; 15,7%), or an "illegitimate" one (n=77; 50,3%) or a patient him/herself (n=52; 34%). In 16 visits (1,9%) more than two people interact with the doctor. The study constitutes a stimulus in order to favour an Italian contribution about a new international perspective on the doctor-patient relation that is clinically relevant.
