Review: As human beings we all communicate, whether verbally or by body language, and the way that we communicate influences the relationship that we have with others. For communication to be effective in nursing, nurses need to be aware of how they communicate and how this affects the nurse-–patient relationship. This book, for nursing students, explains the importance of good communication and shows how nurses can develop their core communication skills as well as therapeutic communication skills that are so valuable in communicating with patients, their families and nursing colleagues.
