"The authors have done a superb job of describing communication skills and the major issues in the profession...using a skills-based approach."

It combines the most up-to-date research with a wealth of practical information, such as:

  • Real-life case studies to help you apply your learning to real scenarios
  • Simple step-by-step guidelines showing you how to deal with specific situations
  • Examples of written resources you can use in practice
