Customer Reviews

Good, logical textbook for communications in healthcare

Excellent introductory text for developing and understanding quality communication in the healthcare setting. Strengths: Short, very read-able, logical in progression, and quite human in its approach. Weaknesses: Some of the communication theory is dry and complex.

Well-written, concise guide for many practical situations

I found this book to be extremely useful for a new person entering clinical practice. The book is well-written and gives examples and dialogue that can be used in various situations. It takes into account client culture, gender and experience, which is vital in a communication guide.
