For anyone who communicates directly with patients—the complete guide to handling emotionally charged conversations with the empathy vulnerable people deserve.
The Clinician’s Guide to Empathy helps readers approach tough conversations in a new, more effective way—by understanding and recognizing the emotion and perspective of the other person, and then communicating that recognition clearly and without fear. The authors define empathy on an operational level—rather than a theoretical, scientific, or conceptual level—and provide actionable advice medical professionals need to make empathy the central focus when it’s most appropriate. Much more than a guide to breaking bad news or a brief overview of all communication skills, The Clinician’s Guide to Empathy is a must-read for almost anyone connected to the healthcare industry.
- Market: Medical schools, nursing schools, residency programs, hospital administrators, medical providers, centers for Medicare and Medicaid services, and insurance companies.
- Trained to solve problems, clinicians often have difficulty expressing empathy to their patients. This guide provides a new way of approaching that problem—not as a technician but as a fellow human being.
- The authors illuminate the most common conversational challenges in clinical practice, including denial, questions about prognosis, existential concerns, difficult family dynamics, anger, and nonmedical opiate use.
- Each chapter, authored by an experienced expert in their field, is anchored by a story that clearly illustrated how empathy can unfold in the clinical setting.
- Vignettes provide sample dialogue and specific examples of actual words to use in specific situations.
- Appendix/summary for easy reference throughout the frenetic workday and can be used as a source of reflection.
- The book comes with a condensed booklet that can fit in the clinician’s lab coat.
