Clinicians will recognize the pitfalls and derailments of the clinical conversations portrayed and will be reassured by learning skills that can be relied on when faced with challenging encounters. The book can be read as a whole or used as a go-to reminder of a cognitive map and strategies to manage these conversations. … We recommend that physicians in training and seasoned clinicians read this book and keep it close at hand as they gradually strengthen the practice of person-centered communication in the most difficult situations.'

Such a patient-centred approach is the future of clinical care, and this book is an essential how-to guide on improving these skills. Grounded in innovative and evidence-based methodology, perfected through over twenty years of teaching in the VitalTalk training program, content includes foundational communication skills, how to help patients plan for the future, what to do when you are really stuck, and strategies to work through conflicts with colleagues. In this updated edition, emphasis is placed on the roles privilege, race, and power play in the medical encounter, and new tools are provided to help clinicians navigate this landscape with greater self-awareness and sensitivity. This practical guide is filled with skills and roadmaps, demonstrating how to be clearer when sharing information, more competent at understanding patient concerns, and more effective when making recommendations.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e 1.
