<p>How can health professionals best serve their multicultural patients? What are the best ways to communicate and avoid misunderstanding? In her book Culture and the Clinical Encounter: An Intercultural Sensitizer for the Health Professions, Dr. Rena Gropper addresses these questions through a series of forty-four case studies, in which communication between a health professional and a patient breaks down because of a lack of knowledge about cultural differences. Dr. Gropper asks the reader to assess each situation, providing four possible explanations from which to choose.Along with the correct interpretation of each interaction, Dr. Gropper also provides accompanying discussions in order to further explore the significance of each encounter and how it would best be resolved. Culture and the Clinical Encounter is valuable practice for health professionals looking to improve their relationships with clients and patients from culturally diverse backgrounds.
