Great book! I'm a 4th year medical student, and this book provide a systematic framework for taking a GREAT history. I feel like my school didnt teach interviewing very well, and I developed my own technique by struggling through 3rd year without much guidance (some of which turned out to be similar to what this book suggests). Still, this book continues to offer more information and tips on continuing to improve my history gathering skills!

This updated textbook contains much of the latest evidence in its review of the medical literature on patient-centered medical interviewing, and presents it in an astonishingly clear, concise approach that students in the beginning of their medical training will find invaluable. Practicing physicians will also find the summaries refreshing and helpful. Highly recommend.

This 3rd edition of Smith's Patient-Centered Interviewing provides health professions students and practitioners with an in-depth, comprehensive, and elegant treatise on how to perform an effective medical interview by integrating non- directive with directive approaches to communication. The authors present the interview in steps that can be learned and practiced and include a number of helpful pedagogical tools such as a pocket card, clinical vignettes, lists of essential questions, graphics, and exercises for deliberate practice. Throughout, the authors paint a portrait of the patient-centered interview with examples of the words that clinicians and patients might say in real encounters. There are also chapters addressing special challenges, advanced skills, oral presentation, and documentation. At my medical school, I recommend this book to medical students as an essential text and also incorporate it into the training of standardized patients.

I love this book and I feel that any healthcare provider could benefit from reading it thoroughly! I will keep this through my career and reference it frequently to insure I am providing pt centered care!

Dull topic but the author does an excellent job of making it readable. The book is abound with research based evidence to back any technique or strategy it suggests. Vignettes demonstrate the use in action and references to outside resources link to videos and other resources that further reinforce the learning experience.

I am really happy with this book. It came in excellent shape (brand new). It is easy to read and has a fun index cards available for quick review over high-yield clinical skills information.

Great
