 Health Communication Theory and Practice, Second Edition
Gary L. Kreps and Barbara C. Thornton
Presenting the essentials of communication
theory in practical terms for members/consumers of the health care professions!
Human communication performs an integral role in the delivery of health care and
the promotion of health. The ability to communicate directly affects our ability
to maintain our health and to help others do the same. Yet, rather than being a
focal point in health care, communication is often taken for granted in the
health care system. The First Edition of Health Communication was written
to help correct this lack of emphasis. The Second Edition enhances its previous
discussion of developing effective provider/consumer relationships, health care
teams, and health care interviews by including new concepts. The revision
emphasizes ethical health communication, intercultural and interprofessional
exchanges, the use of communication to promote health, the importance of
information in health care, the creation of communication campaigns, and the
increasing role of technology. Case histories that describe a wide range of
health care situations are integrated into each chapter. Health
Communication, 2/E covers a wide variety of topics in a well-organized,
easy-to-understand format. $26.95 list, 233 pages 10-digit ISBN: 0-88133-643-2 13-digit ISBN: 978-0-88133-643-6 © 1992 Table of Contents
