This standard text on medical interviewing retains its core of open-ended and more directed interviewing techniques, but the fourth edition is more firmly anchored in the everyday practice of medicine. It contains much new material on the components of the medical history, interviewing cognitively impaired patients, interviewing children and their parents and the elderly, the interview in continuing care and when time is limited, and many other practical issues.

Review

From Reviews of Previous Editions: "An excellent introduction for students in the health professions to the skills of interviewing. Their mentors could also benefit from reading, teaching, and applying the book's techniques and principles." --Journal of the American Medical Association "A superb book.... It is aimed at medical students, for all of whom it should be required reading, but even a Fellow of the American College of Physicians could gain a great deal from its study." --Annals of Internal Medicine "A concise, well-written and clearly presented introduction to interviewing and interacting with patients.... The chapters on interviewing children and parents...are outstanding. They are lucid and pragmatic, and they provide invaluable insights, information, and clinical examples to explicate important issues.... The book fills an important need and is a valuable introduction to concepts and techniques." --New England Journal of Medicine "The authors have responded to the significant changes which have occurred in health care in the intervening years with the addition of new material which has been handled in their usual straight forward, sensitive, easily understood manner....This is a valuable edition that every student should absorb. It is written in a nonjudgemental and straight forward manner using clinical scenarios to explicate specific points....If providers in the medical, nursing and allied health professions could master the skills and attitudes of medical interviewing put forth in this book perhaps there would be fewer misunderstandings which result in lawsuits."--Baylor College of Medicine "Interviewing and Patient Care is a book that can equip the beginner with the tools that are needed to enter the hospital and begin patient contact....Recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning more about interviewing, irrespective of profession, or previous interview experience."--University of Toronto Medical Journal "Communication is the key ingredient in the physician-patient relationship and this book provides you with a time-tested recipe for success....A finely crafted work that clearly and concisely teaches the art of interviewing....A space should be reserved for this volume on every family physician's bookshelf."--The Journal of Family Practice
