Interviewing and Patient Care

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.
