Thoughtful, complex analysis of communication behaviors

Although a very useful textbook for analyzing complex communication behaviors, this book is somewhat dense. It is rich with theory and detailed analyses, but it will not teach you how to relate better to your patients. Great book for a course, not so great if you are using it on your own.

Core Collection for Nursing Libraries.

Selected by Brandon and Hill (Nursing Outlook, March-April, 1996) as one of best books for small nursing and medical libraries.
