Opis

Doctors, nurses, and other workers in cancer care are increasingly aware of the need to improve their ability to interact effectively with cancer patients and their relatives, and colleagues. This book focuses primarily on the skills and strategies needed for effective communications between health professionals and patients trying to adapt to a fear-provoking diagnosis and an uncertain future. The practical guidelines have been tested over the years in clinical practice and validated by those using them.
