Opis

Each chapter in this book focuses on one or more performances that clinical practitioners must achieve with some regularity. It explores ways - communication and literary theory, ethnography, and discourse analysis - to express what practitioners do in clinics and hospitals.

Recenzje

"...every chapter works with real talk, and it will be instructive (expecially to those interested in medical and counseling encounters) to see the range of what the contributors do with that kind of data."
—Journal of Language and Social Psychology

"The Talk of the Clinic successfully merges an examination of critical issues in medical and therapeutic contexts with micro-analyses of discourse within those contexts to produce a text for students, researchers and practitioners."
