• A new chapter tells how to communicate about sensitive topics that patients may find difficult to discuss because of embarrassment, cultural beliefs, or fear of social stigma.
• Another new chapter describes the way limited literacy or limited health literacy can affect patient outcomes and how pharmacists can identify and help overcome such limitations in their patients.
• The expanded chapter on managing change emphasizes the use of motivational interviewing.
• Dozens of examples share good and bad pharmacist–patient and pharmacist–physician dialogues.
• Guidelines tell how to contact a physician and then build rapport and discuss drug-related problems with him or her.
• Questions for reflection appear at the end of each chapter.
