This standard text on medical interviewing retains its core of open-ended and more directed interviewing techniques, but the Fourth Edition is more firmly anchored in the everyday practice of medicine. It contains much new material on the components of the medical history, interviewing cognitively impaired patients, interviewing children and their parents and the elderly, the interview in continuing care and when time is limited, delivering bad news, and many other practical issues.
This book was incredibly useful for research purposes. I had an assignment on Interpersonal skills and interviewing techinques and the book gave quotations which generally happens in practice. So i was able to compare an contrast what happens in practice with written literature.
