The medical interview : mastering skills for clinical practice

Writing for medical students beginning their clinical careers, Coulehan and Block systematically address a wide spectrum of principles and skills central to the medical interview and the patient-physician relationship. The authors begin by describing interviewing as a clinical skill that merges the scientific perspective with the art of medicine. Subsequent chapters address empathic responses, structural and informational elements of the history, the medical record and the written history, and more complicated patient interactions.

Chapters in the text follow a logical and effective pattern, which begins with principles and concepts, followed by skills and advice, and are interspersed with sample transcripts and real-world clinical examples. These sample interactions bring skills and concepts to life, helping to operationalize abstract principles and aid in their application to clinical encounters.

This approach provides a more genuine feel to material that can be rendered lifeless by an overreliance on theory and contrived examples.

The sample transcript segments presented in the text are almost exclusively drawn from the outpatient setting. For courses and clerkships at outpatient clinics, these examples will be accurate, helpful, and will reflect challenges students will most likely encounter as they learn.

However, for those medical schools that primarily use an inpatient setting for teaching initial interviewing skills, these examples are less easily translated and applied. Although the sample transcripts are well placed and valuable, inevitably one loses the nonverbal dimensions of the interaction. In a text format, accompanying intonations in voice, varying postures or gestures, and other nonverbal cues important to communication are missing.

Thus, there is a risk of misinterpretation. The authors address this shortcoming at times by providing some insight into nonverbal aspects of the interaction.
