The text covers communications, counseling, interviewing, motivating clients, delivering oral presentations and using media in presentations.  Communication is basic to the relationship that the Registered Dietitian (RD) professional has with their clients. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recognizes the importance of communication skills for practitioners to promote health, disease prevention and treatment. Providing people with information on what to eat is not enough, the RD must also promote and facilitate behavior changes to more healthful food choices.Â
       ·        Judith A Beto, PhD, RD, FADA is the lead author.
