Healthcare Psychology and Communication Skills (Theory)

By Dr. Mahendra Kumar Betur Jayappa & Dr. Renukaradhya Chitti

A medicine works only if a person takes it, and whether a person takes it, takes it correctly, and keeps taking it is a question about human behaviour rather than about the molecule. That single fact is the reason psychology and communication sit in the first-year pharmacy curriculum, and it is the thread that runs through every chapter of this book.

About This Book

Healthcare Psychology and Communication Skills can sound like a soft subject beside pharmacology and chemistry. It is not. It is the most directly practice-facing subject a first-year pharmacist studies, because it is about what the future professional will actually say and do with patients: how to read a frightened patient, how to choose words for difficult news, how to explain a regimen so it is understood and followed, how to recognise distress and respond to it safely, and how to treat every patient with the dignity that good care requires.

The aim of this book is to make that soft-sounding subject rigorous and useful, with theories explained to their mechanism, models compared, and communication techniques shown step by step. Written specifically for B.Pharm first semester students under the new PCI syllabus 2026 (NEP 2020), this flagship textbook provides comprehensive coverage of healthcare psychology fundamentals and practical communication skills essential for modern pharmacy practice.
