Reviews

Hsieh's well-organized book provides an up-to-date synthesis of literature related to the use of interpreters in health care. Hsieh develops an excellent, holistic, contextual, and culturally sensitive model titled the 'Model of Bilingual Health Communication,' which is rich with information about the interaction between and among individuals and systems and the importance of the delivery of optimum health care services...Highly recommended CHOICE In addition to the strong holistic approach this book takes to cross-cultural health care, the author presents a sound focus on theory and theory development, which are arguably often too quickly addressed or altogether ignored in many academic books. [...] This text would be useful for interpersonal communication undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and medical students, as many of the issues raised are pertinent to already existing conversations about the state of health care. --Janelle Applequist, Journal of Language and Social Psychology 1-3 (2017) No one is better placed to write an exhaustive account of bilingual health communication. --Alexander Bischoff, Interpreting 19:2 (2017) Hsieh's well-organized book provides an up-to-date synthesis of literature related to the use of interpreters in health care.
