Synopsis

Writing in a style widely praised by reviewers who "couldn't wait to read more," Beck uses specific examples-including a personal narrative that unfolds throughout the book-- to inspire readers to reflect on and re-examine the complexity of contemporary health communication. With the advent of technology, consumerism, and managed care, relationships between health care participants have become increasingly problematic, with serious potential implications for care. Communicating For Your Health offers a thoughtful and thought-provoking examination of the issues and aspects of the field and explains how they influence and impact each other and other health care participants. Includes chapters on social support, industry communication, technological advances, diversity, public advocacy, and decision making. For health care providers, participants, and support system members.
