5.0 out of 5 stars
Can't refer to a specialist? Use this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Infertility Counseling: A Comprehensive Handbook for Clinicians (Hardback) (Hardcover)
When managed care makes it impossible to refer a client to someone who specializes in infertility, here is the book that will make you feel confident about your work. And when you don't have time to read a whole book at once, here is the book that allows you to choose the chapters you need when you need them. The impressive array of interdisciplinary experts follow the same format in each chapter, making cross-references for the reader very easy. This book is truly comprehensive, including topics such as "Special Populations" and "Adoption after Infertility", along with the practical guidelines we all want but which are often lost amidst theory and statistics in other books. The appendices and resource section are especially impressive. There are questionnaires, guidelines, consent forms, and a record-keeping form. The resources section has over 20 pages ofdouble-column entries. The authors have organized a stunning amount of information in a way that is useful to clinicians new to infertility issues and to those with experience who want to learn more
5.0 out of 5 stars
An indispensible resource for infertility counselors.,
By Paul H. Kelner, MSW, LCSW-C (pkelner@us.net) (Silver Spring, Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Infertility Counseling: A Comprehensive Handbook for Clinicians (Hardback) (Hardcover)
Burns and Covington's book has been very helpful in my practice. "Seasoned" clinicians as well as practitioners with less experience working with infertile clients will find the information presented valuable.
