Prescriptive Communication for the Healthcare Provider

Professor Eisenberg''s primary objective is to help patients and their healthcare providers communicate with one another more effectively. When they fail to communicate, it often negates or compromises the benefit they seek to derive from their treatment. Aside from addressing the conventional issues that currently bog down healthcare communication, he exploits some less typical issues such as pseudoaffective communication, somatotyping, appellations, clinical musicology, genderlect, and territoriality. Healthcare providers reading this book should come away with an expanded and more inclusive perspective on how practitioners can enrich their interpersonal skills.
