In recent years, there has been increasing awareness regarding the importance of clear and effective communication between patients, families, and medical staff in the context of illness and medical ethics. A central focus has been provider-patient communication, with the patient as the primary unit of care. Historically, the role of the family in provider-patient communication research has often been overlooked. However, increasing evidence demonstrates that the family is not only affected by a loved one's illness, but that it often plays a central role in a family member's health care, and more specifically, in their health communication encounters with doctors and other health providers. This course discusses what is meant by the term 'health communication', examines the role of communication in patient care and reviews the relevant theories and existing empirical evidence related to provider-patient-family communication. Evidence-based clinical guidelines for mental health providers and allied healthcare professionals are offered to facilitate more effective and satisfactory provider-patient-family communication and collaborative care.
