5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent manual for all healthcare provoders, May 8, 2004

ROBERT J TRIPICCHIO (wooddale, il United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Medical Interview: Mastering Skills for Clinical Practice (Paperback)

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

3.0 out of 5 stars Great book if you ever want to refresh your clinical communication skills
This book was required for one of my classes and I found it to be somewhat useful. It has some pretty good case scenarios that you can definitely learn from.

4.0 out of 5 stars great book!
An excellent book for all the people interested in the topic. It is very clear and direct, but it can get sometimes repetitive.

3.0 out of 5 stars Another textbook that medical mandates you to purchase
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Tedious, Dull, and mostly common sense
I really loathe this book. It's a dull, slow read. It's full of ridiculously trite little examples. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really necessary
If you've ever held a conversation with another human, you don't need this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars This books sucks
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. Read more
