About this Elements Series
This series brings together a wide range of disciplines that converge on the study of communication in healthcare. Researchers have tended to study health communication within disciplinary boundaries that can limit an exchange of ideas and insights. This is the first publication to integrate the work of these disciplines within a single, unifying series. Each element examines a key topic in health communication and is carefully crafted by experts in their respective disciplines.
Contributions include analytical surveys, cutting-edge insights into frontier topics in health communication, and advanced tutorials that provide time-pressed health professionals and students with a comprehensive overview of an area or theme. Digital content gives readers a rich learning experience and illustrates the relevance of health communication to everyday life.
The series is relevant to students, researchers, and practitioners in humanities, medical and health professions, linguistics, psychology, and communication and media studies.
