A sensitive approach to women?s health issues

Although written for primary care providers, Rosenfeld presents women's health issues with clear explanations of medical terms that most women will be able to understand. Dividing the lifetime into stages, she addresses traditional medical issues systemically (Cardiovascular disease, Respiratory disease etc.) Not meant to be exhaustive, some topics are superficially dealt with. Although psychological and social issues specific to women's health are well addressed, this is a traditional medical text and has little emphasis on alternative approaches such as herbal, bimolecular, aromatherapy, or other alternative therapies. A useful text for sensitivity training for primary care providers as well as for the woman who wants to understand what her doctor might not take time to explain.
