About this book
Designed with you in mind, Tamparo/Lindh/Blesi's THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, 5th Edition, is the complete guide to patient interactions in today's clinical care settings. Effective communication can ease patient anxiety, increase compliance and enhance health care interactions, especially when dealing with life-altering illness, death and dying, depression, substance use and abuse and other situations where patient behaviors can be unpredictable. In each chapter, you will explore caregivers' good and bad responses to stressful scenarios and techniques for improvement. Each chapter starts with a case study to bring life to the page and reinforces communication strategies with practice cases, boxed features, role-play exercises and questions throughout the text. No matter the situation you face on the job, THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS can prepare you with the soft skills you need to think critically and help patients cope.
