Descripción

This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. Entirely revised and updated and with a foreword by John Guillebaud, this is the much anticipated new edition of an invaluable, practical guide which has become an established reference for all those working in reproductive health. As in the previous edition, all forms of contraceptives are covered in detail, with guidance on prescribing, possible complications and advantages/disadvantages. The book continues to provide evidence-based clinical guidance for family-planning providers. This fifth edition is a complete update on developments in the field, integrating the new contraceptives, strategies and guidelines within family planning and reproductive healthcare.

Reseñas

BMA Book Awards 2008 - Highly Commended

"The editors are eminent professors and consultants in the UK, their depth of experience is reflected in this very interesting and useful handbook. It is evidence-based factual information presented in a simple concise form with extremely well-written chapters. The chapters on legal aspects of family planning, barrier methods, intrauterine systems and menopause send out loud and clear messages to readers in simple formats. There are good illustrations on teaching barrier methods."
