Janet Farrell Leontiou holds a Ph.D. in speech communication from Penn State University. All of her degrees are in the ancient discipline of rhetoric. She has spent the last twenty-seven years teaching the material found within this book to students at Nassau Community College. She has first-hand experience on just how empowering these ideas can be. All of Dr. Farrell Leontiou’s work is on the power of spoken word and the kinds of worlds we create with our words. Two of her books—The Doctor Still Knows Best: How Medical Culture Is Still Marked by Paternalism (Peter Lang, 2020) and What Do the Doctors Say?: How Doctors Create a World Through Their Words (2010)—are about the world created by medical professionals. Communicating with Integrity (2003) was written as a student guide for the course content.
