Healthcare is not limited to the scientific understanding of medicines and disease. Effective healthcare also depends on understanding human behaviour, emotions, attitudes, communication patterns and interpersonal relationships. Pharmacists interact with patients, physicians, nurses, caregivers and other healthcare professionals; therefore, effective communication and appropriate professional behaviour are essential competencies. This textbook, Healthcare Psychology and Communication Skills (BP103T), has been prepared for first-semester B.Pharm students with the aim of providing a simple, systematic and student-friendly introduction to psychological principles and communication skills relevant to healthcare practice. The content is presented in clear language with appropriate examples, tables, activities and practical exercises. The PCI syllabus emphasizes communication processes, barriers, perspectives, verbal and non-verbal communication, communication styles, listening, interviewing, teamwork, leadership and related professional skills. The textbook also incorporates healthcare-oriented topics such as psychological well-being, empathy, stress, patient behaviour, therapeutic communication, health communication, stigma reduction and psychological first aid. These topics are presented as complementary learning areas to help students develop a patient-centred approach. The book follows a textbook-oriented structure with learning objectives, key terms, concise explanations, tables, examples, review questions and practical activities. The objective is to help students understand concepts easily, prepare for examinations and develop communication competencies required for professional practice.
