Reviews & endorsements
'This comprehensive Australian textbook covers a lot more than a standard O & G text … this text is a worthwhile resource to update GPs on women's health issues and is recommended.' Australian Doctor
See more reviews'Caring successfully for women often requires eliciting sensitive information and conducting intimate examinations. All of this must be taken on board by medical students in what is usually a very short and finite period of time. This book admirably succeeds in helping students along their path … There are excellent sections dealing with behavioural and mental health issues, and with sexual health. The book is well laid out and cross-referenced … the book does exactly what it sets out to do: assist medical students to become informed, thoughtful, competent, and sympathetic in their care of women.' The Lancet
'This text stands out refreshingly in placing women as central to the discussion. … an informative, modern, well written addition to the obstetrics and gynaecology library.' Human Fertility
