Reviews
From the reviews:
"This new book … is the concrete demonstration of the growing interest around communication issues in cancer care. … this comprehensive book represents an excellent summary of the available knowledge and expertise in the rapidly developing field of communication in medical oncology. The essential information contained and the didactic vocation make this book an innovative, outstanding instrument not only for physicians but also for other interested readers." (Piero Sanna, Schweizer Krebsbulletin, August, 2007)
"For Psycho-Oncology readers, a volume entitled ‘Communication in Cancer Care’ represents a welcome addition to Springer’s Recent Results in Cancer Research series. The promise of the anthology of collected chapters is a comprehensive, international, interdisciplinary, and multi-perspective summary of what we know about communication within this particularly intensive clinical context … . and those who conceived of the collection are to be congratulated for making the attempt." (Sally Thorne, Psycho-Oncology, Issue 16, 2007)
"This volume is essential reading for specialists in psychosomatic medicine as well as oncologists. … The book utilizes excellent tables and charts, and its editing is superb with clarity and with brevity when appropriate. … should be in all of our libraries, especially for psychosomatic medicine, but also in oncologists’ personal collections. All medical libraries in hospitals of any size should also have such a volume. … useful to train both Psychosomatic Medicine specialists as well as oncologists in talking to their patients and families." (Thomas N. Wise, Psychosomatics, Vol. 49 (3), 2008)
"This book is original in that it examines in depth some current and particularly complex communication challenges for health professionals in cancer care. … It offers a ‘communication compass’ to help understand and guide the process of patient-healthprofessional communication. … Chapters are short and well structured, and … the book can also be read as a whole. … The issues raised and questions asked are a timely warning for those who plan to commission training and indicate some key areas for future research." (Carolyn Pitceathly, Journal of Psychosomatic Research, Vol. 64, 2008)
