Good therapeutic communication with patients decreases the risk both to patient and provider of misunderstandings, and can increase patient compliance, and save time in the long run. This work also presents a variety of client profiles and therapeutic responses for stress, anger, suicide, depression, drug dependency, abuse, loss, and grief.

This is your comprehensive guide for the most important component of the relationship between caregiver and patient: communication. Successful communication with patients can decrease patient anxiety, increase patient compliance, and result in a positive experience for all involved. This book focuses on the therapeutic response to specific situations and client needs, with examples of both good and bad communication to help you communicate therapeutically and effectively in diverse health care settings.
