Introduction

This book presents cases where establishing initial rapport was delayed, disturbed or was complicated by a special circumstance: the patients were agitated, hostile, demanding or just not in control of their consciousness.

Appropriate communication strategies can be applied successfully to solve such situations / cases.

Each and every case presented in this volume with its review is real and happened in everyday medical practice. Most of them have already been published. The cases were subsequently recorded in writing, so certain details might be altered along with the distortion of memory. However, since all colleagues are trained professionals of suggestive communication, they are more likely to remember the consciously formulated phases than average.

Readers will see that there is no generally applicable recipe for such cases.
