In the care of sick or elderly individuals, communication plays a crucial role. Those who communicate in a clear, appreciative language provide orientation and security. In care teams, mindful language use creates a pleasant working atmosphere and structured processes. The caregivers themselves gain confidence and presence. Practitioners share in this book how everyone can realign their language. Through numerous examples, they illustrate the conscious use of vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure. All of this positively impacts daily life in hospitals, nursing homes, and both outpatient and home care. Mindful care also includes mindful language. Those who wish to speak as mindfully as they care will find abundant inspiration for daily practice in this book. Very rarely do books make it so clear to us: language is an expression of our human attitude—our humanity.
