Interviewing and Patient Care.

Abstract

The latest edition of this highly successful introduciton to medical interviewing has three new chapters--Emotional and Behavioral Responses to Illness and to Patients, Interviewing the Older Adult, and Interviewing and Continuing Care--as well as a new section on eliciting the sexual history. Focusing on the human side of the clinician-patient interaction, this concise, practical work will be of great value to medical, nursing, and allied health students. From reviews of the second edition: A superb book....It is aimed at medical students, for all of whom it should be required reading, but even a Fellow of the American College of Physicians could gain a great deal from its study.--Annals of Internal Medicine.
