A Handbook for Clinicians is intended for practicing obstetricians and gynecologists or residents concentrating in those areas. The book clearly emphasizes the growing need for obstetricians and gynecologists to be able to address a number of women's health issues outside their specialties but within their office practice. Domestic violence and lesbian health issues, also, are addressed. There are several useful appendices including one that lists the guidelines for women's health screening, evaluation, counseling, and immunizations by age groups. A mini-atlas with color photographs serves to help diagnose skin problems and vulvar diseases.
Indexing provides easy access to particular issues.
It would be a great addition to a private collection or a hospital library's circulating collection. Inc. All rights reserved.
