Review

The first edition of this book has long been a classic about skilled consulting. The authors have managed the impossible, the best just got better... This is well researched, well explained and well referenced - yet readable. This will inevitably be another success. (Practice Nurse)

[It] deserves to have a wide readership. (Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Vol 97)

... excellent teaching and learning text... This highly recommended book is successful in its desire to inform, guide and redirect the teacher or learner. (Hospital Doctor)

I appreciate its clarity, rigour, and coherence. It is an especially valuable book because it raises questions which apply to many professions, it is about much more than medical consultations... [a] very stimulating and very good book. (Theodore Zeldin, Templeton College, Oxford)
