Communicative competencies are central requirements for all employees in medical practices. Medical practices are systems that tend to become routine regarding daily communication processes, making them highly susceptible to disruptions. When mindful communication is successful in the medical practice, both patients and healthcare professionals benefit: patients feel comfortable, employee satisfaction increases, and the likelihood of errors decreases. The book vividly illustrates where communicative pitfalls lie and demonstrates how specific communication techniques and a mindful attitude can create a culture of appreciation and respect in the medical practice. The focus of the book is on the development of competencies for all stakeholders: it highlights and questions the most important areas of practice.
