Another textbook that medical mandates you to purchase January 9, 2009

Just another textbook that medical mandates you to purchase. Check it out from the library and keep your money in your pocket. Quick read but dull at times.
 Tedious, Dull, and mostly common sense September 9, 2007

I really loathe this book. It's a dull, slow read. It's full of ridiculously trite little examples. It will spend three full pages coming up with different ways to say "appear caring." An intelligent person could convey all the useful information in this book to someone in about 30 minutes.
I have an exam I know is based almost solely on this book, and I still feel like I wasted money on it.
 Excellent manual for all healthcare provoders May 8, 2004

Many clinicians confuse conversation skills (which most people have) with professional communication skills (which most have had little formal training in at all).
The cinicians in our practice have found it helpful in becoming more patient-centered in the goals setting process. The payoff being that patients who are more involved in their goal setiing and treatment planning are usually are more adherent to their treatment plan and demonstrate better outcomes. The book does a good job describing the difference between the traditional clinician-centered interview proceess and the patient-centered interview process and helping us blend the two. It does a particularly good job at giving strategies of how to work with various types of patients, i.e. the reticent, passive, overly talkative etc..
Strong in the fundamentals. Practical.
Highly recommended
 Not really necessary November 15, 2003

This book is a piece of doody. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. It seems as if it was written for robots to teach them how to interact with human patients. If you have any social skills whatsoever, you do not need to buy this book.
