Spanish Phrasebook for Medical and Social Services Professionals

I agree with the prior review. This is NOT a phrasebook at all. I purchased it for our medical office staff to be able to ask basic questions of Spanish speaking patients. It's just a cross dictionary, helpful if you already speak Spanish, but not enough if you have limited knowledge. I ultimately bought a different book that was more of a match to our needs.

This was so annoying to me. This is simply a condensed dictionary with words common to medical and social service professions and rarely include accompanying phrases, like most bilingual dictionaries do. I felt that the title was very misleading. I do recommend "Essential Spanish for Social Services" by living language. The reference guide and audioscript are especially beneficial and go through an assessment process and clinical/ therapeutic dialogue as well.
