This book advances our understanding of communicative relationships and key barriers to more effective health communication. In this, it offers a humanistic orientation of health communication as well as its social, cultural, political, ethical, and spiritual dimensions and contexts. The book therefore brings a more inclusive and integrated approach to the major challenges and opportunities in contemporary health, medicine, and wellbeing.
