Pharmaceutical care requires developing a covenantal relation between pharmacist and patient in which information is exchanged, held in confidence, and used to optimize patient care through appropriate drug therapy, says Berger (pharmacy care systems, Auburn U.). He offers practicing and student pharmacists advice on the communications skills necessary to build that kind of relationship. The 15 chapters were originally published as articles in US Pharmacist. No date is mentioned for the first edition.
