Current Edition Reviews: The audience is healthcare providers, including students, residents, and practitioners . . . . provides a number of methods that promote safe, adherent, and collaborative information that enable positive dialogue between patient and healthcare provider.

Doody's Review MaryAnn Frances Troiano, DNP Monmouth University School of Nursing and Health Studies Dr. Shea's book on the Medication Interest Model (MIM) is such a necessary and crucial tool in the care of our patients. We may be skilled in the cardiovascular exam, or the pulmonary exam, or we may be superb in the comprehensive neurology or mental health exam, but without techniques like those found in the MIM, these honed skills become almost meaningless. Every clinician must read this book. It should be required reading for all medical students, nursing students, physician assistants, and social workers. The provider-patient relationship has not had such an advance since Sir William Osler. Peter G. S. Gunther, MD, FACP Chief Medical Officer, Community Health Centers of Burlington, Vermont Clinical Associate Professor, Larner College of Medicine, University of Vermont Previous Edition Reviews: In the following pages, you are in for a treat. You are about to enter the very soul of what we do, and you could not find a better guide . . . . destined to fill a giant void in the training of all medical and nursing students, as well as becoming a classic read for experienced clinicians in search of the art of medicine. My advice is simple - read it. Former Surgeon General of the United States (1981-1989) C. Everett Koop, MD, ScD Senior Scholar, C. Everett Koop Institute at Dartmouth As an endocrinologist I can safely say that the secret to treating diabetes lies within the pages of this book, for the secret of successfully treating diabetes - as well as all other serious diseases - lies in improving medication adherence. No book provides better answers to this vexing problem. Laced with humor and compassion it is a fun book, a rare clinical gem, highly recommended for all generalists, specialists, nurses, case managers, and medical, nursing, and clinical pharmacy students. I read it carefully - twice. George F. Cahill, Jr. M.D. Professor of Medicine, Emeritus, Harvard Medical School Past President, American Diabetes Association A bright and refreshing writing style, packed with unusually insightful interviewing tips. Medication issues are central, complex, and controversial in the era of evidence-based medicine and shared decision-making; and Dr. Shea's book is simply the best resource available on communicating with people about their medications. Robert E. Drake, MD, PhD Andrew Thomson Professor of Psychiatry Dartmouth Medical Schools A valuable book for even the most experienced clinician from primary care to endocrinology. Dr. Shea brings rich insights to a topic (what words we choose as we introduce medications and address their side-effects), that is seldom discussed in training. He reminds us that our words are as important a part of the pharmacopoeia as the medications themselves. John F. Steiner, MD, MPH Director of the Colorado Health Outcomes Program Professor of Medicine, Preventive Medicine and Biometrics University of Colorado Shawn Shea, a rare Lincolnesque physician, wrassles to the ground the tough problem of improving medication adherence . . . . written with gimlet-eyed clarity and eloquence - this book is a boon for any clinician.
