Recenzje

As Medics or indeed clinicians, this is an invaluable text as it identifies how to:- pin-point cues in body language and verbal responses, convey messages via touch and well timed silences, the significance of a smile and thus how to avoid the ever present reality that is litigation. Each chapture ends with a breif summary of all the salient points addressed, and all the time favorite boxes containing bullet points are in abundance.
