Customer Reviews

Easy to Read Reference for Practitioners

I find this text an excellent source of easy to read information. Every method of birth control/contraception is covered, including fertility based methods, surgical procedures, etc. There is also applicable information in regards to women's health issues and sexuality. Another reviewer stated that this book needs an update; I've heard that another edition is coming out soon and I would imagine that it would include new methods that have become available since the publication of this edition. I recommend this text to any women's health practitioner.

Crucial Desk Reference

This is an integral desk reference for the reproductive health educator. This text outlines all that there is to know to date about contraceptive methods and their function. I don't inted to part with this until the 19th edition is released.

Excellent Resource

This book is an excellent resource for anyone working in the medical field. It gives indepth information of all things pertaining to contraception, in clear, easy to understand language. I recommend this resource to all physicians, nurse practitioners and nurses caring for patients interested in using varying forms of contraception

"Contraceptive Technology" review

I have checked this book out of the Seattle Public Library so many times that I'm considering buying it for my personal reference library. I have recommended this book to many men and women. Excellent information (and things you did not expect to read) about differernt methods of birth control. If you want to be informed and educated about oral contraceptives, abortion and gynecology then you will find this book helpful.

A "must-have" for those caring for & prescribing for women.

This is my second purchase of this excellent, comprehensive book. (It's updated periodically). It's an essential reference, a practical guide, a one-stop shopping not just for contraception but for a general approach to appropriate medical care for women. I highly recommend it. Pepi Granat, M.D.
