Book Review of Improving Medication Adherence: How to Talk With Patients About Their Medications

I found a book review for "Improving Medication Adherence: How to Talk With Patients About Their Medications" on Psychiatry OnLine by Dr. Jeffrey Geller. Having never attended medical school, I just assumed medication adherence and how to speak with patients would be covered during one's studies. Maybe I am wrong.

From the review:

"Shawn Christopher Shea's book, Improving Medication Adherence: How to Talk With Patients About Their Medications, should be read by every medical student at the end of his or her first year of medical school and again at the end of his or her fourth year. If read anytime after that, I fear it just might be too late.

Shea's book is about how to approach patients sensitively and how to work with patients as partners in their health care. He chooses to focus on medication adherence, but the lessons could be generalized to almost every aspect of the doctor-patient relationship."

Here is the rest of the book review.

Enjoy!
