Review
“Patient Practitioner Interaction: An Experiential Manual for Developing the Art of Health Care, 4th Edition, is an excellent text full of exercises to help physical therapy students and clinicians improve communication. The unique aspect of this manual is the many exercises at the end of each chapter. This manual will encourage discussion about real-life therapy and better prepare students for work. I will use it with my students when they are on clinical to help them understand who they are and how to communicate more effectively with patients.”
