Description:

This thought-provoking book will teach you to create a new partnership with your patients. A partnership that allows you to blend what you know about R-CIS and sound, responsible R-CIS care with what your patients know about themselves. Their goals, their values, their realistic ability to make changes. So solutions emerge naturally and are owned by both patient and practitioner.

This is a very special book that will make you think, reflect, consider your role as a R-CIS professional. It will help you empower yourself as you empower your patients. And enrich you both in the process.
