Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book teaches doctors how to do effectively what many do poorly-communicate bad news to their patients. What the patient hears and understands, how the patient reacts and integrates the bad news, depends on how the doctor conveys it. This book teaches strategies, techniques, and responses that improve doctor patient relationships.
