Product Description
The search for a set of skills which can be identified and taught as 'good clinical communication' has been of considerable value in persuading decision makers at medical schools and other bodies that communication matters. These days, very large numbers of medical schools use what are essentially skills-based models, such as the extraordinarily thorough Calgary-Cambridge approach. However, I believe that the emphasis on communication' as simply a set of skills, such as eye contact, open questions and so on, has badly skewed the development of the discipline. The teaching of "communication skills" in fact strikes me as a very small part of what I do, not a very difficult part for the majority of students, and - whisper it - one which is often pretty dull...In "Language and Clinical Communication", John Skelton critically considers the theory behind this complex field. His wide-ranging approach reflects on the recent developments within the medical humanities and reflects on his controversial stance; questioning the relevance of skill-based teaching in the clinical arena in an accessible, easy to read manner.You will find Skelton's light-hearted and open-minded attitude to the topic unquestionably illuminating. ...

A Boon to Research
There is no modern work dealing with Lethington that can add the flavor that this one does, to researching the character of the man.Skelton is certainly an apologist, and his admiration for Maitland shows through, but even into the 21st century, works dealing with thelife and times of Mary Queen of Scots show bias. Skelton is a poet, and his prose is great reading.Like many works of its time, Skelton's history has an elaborate table of contents, but no index.To find something specific I have had to go to the online version of the book and do a word search.But when I am looking for general information, I read the entire relevant chapters, and I am always rewarded with many precous little gems. When Maitland left home in 1554, he received the same letter from his father that I received from mine.This is a veru humanizing work.The negative side is that it is impossible to find VOL2. ...
