This text provides assistance to mid-level student practitioners in discussing with patients specific health care information related to their illnesses. Prevention and self-care are emphasized, with a focus on methods that will lead to improved patient understanding, increased patient compliance, and early recognition of problems by the patients. The authors emphasize the skills and knowledge needed to perform patient education specific to treatment options, prevention, and psychosocial issues.

The book is organized into two basic sections - the first describes the theories and process of learning and teaching, and the second focuses on the major fields of patient education practice in place today.
