Doody's Reviews
Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials
"This is the most useful comprehensive text on contraception and GYN care on the market. It is an absolute must for anyone who will be prescribing contraception or working with clients who are using a contraceptive method. It is in its 22nd edition for a reason. Without this book, many providers would be lost as they learn how to prescribe or manage nuances they have not encountered previously. As contraception changes, so must the resources to keep up to date on the latest medications, algorithms, indications, and contraindications of each method. As more research is done, more information is known, so the publication of this book is needed in a timely fashion. To date, I have not found a book containing this content that is as thorough, easily understood, and as comprehensive as this one."

Audience
This book is written for any practitioners working with clients who need contraception. This can include active practitioners of all levels, as well as learners. It does not assume that everyone understands the physiology behind a situation but explains it in easy-to-understand terms. This book includes many authors, most of which are physicians with medical degrees and public health degrees. While one author is a nurse practitioner, there isn't a midwife, which might have added to the information presented.
