Bob Hatcher has done it again. This time he and his staff have compressed all you need to know about counselling for, and prescribing contraception in one pocket sized, easy to use book, While his larger and longer book is the standard in the field, it is too big to carry around with you as you are seeing patients. This small handbook gets around that problem and makes it easy for clinicians to look things up just when then need to know them. I recommend it heartily for those clinicians who provide reproductive health services.

This is an excellent and handy reference for novice and experienced clinicians who are working in women's health care. Not only does it provide quick references for aspects of family planning methods, it also has some very helpful guidance on women's health and primary care. I use it as an adjunct in case methodology for teaching graduate nurse-midwifery students.

Dr. Bob Hatcher has done it again; identified a need in the field of contraception and filled it. This pocket-sized guide will be useful for medical students, Ob/Gyn residents, primary care physicians, nurses, and other health professionals who'd like to have definitive contraceptive information they can just carry in their pocket.

It's also a useful guide for any smart consumer who'd like to make better decisions about her own contraceptive choices.

The guide is definitive, and well-worth the small cost of admission!
