Doody's Book Review Service , 15-JUN-02, Donald Frey, MD, Creighton University Medical Center -- "Given the increasing reliance on invasive testing and medical interviewing to the exclusion of sound history taking, such a book is sorely needed. This work fills the niche well...Symptom defining skills are emphasized, and short, easy-to-follow vignettes are used to illustrate the book's interviewing approach. A 'learning exercise' section, written in a question-and-answer format, follows each chapter and helps summarize the elements of each section. Finally, the section on patient education is particularly helpful in weaving education issues into the medical interview...This manual has the capacity to serve both as a teaching tool for students learning the arduous task of medical interviewing, as well as a quick review for the busy practitioner seeking ways to more efficiently deal with difficult patients and multi-problem patients."-Doody's Book Review Service
