This edition has been extensively updated throughout to keep pace with the rapid changes in contraceptive technology and family planning practice. It contains information on all aspects of contraception and includes basic anatomy and physiology relevant to this subject. Notably there are new chapters on preconceptual care, the mechanism of fertilization, subfertility and the menopause. It also encompasses material for those working in well-women clinics and welcomes the trend of amalgamating these services. An important chapter includes details to assist health professionals in dealing with clients who have special needs and require skilled advice. This book should be of interest to nurses taking the ENB's 901 course (Family Planning), family planning nurses, midwives, medical students, health visitors, general practitioners, physiotherapists and social workers.

An understanding of the historical roots of the present is the springboard for a more enlightened tomorrow. This is the story of the rapid development of psychiatric nursing. The author's research, observations and interviews have resulted in a revealing tapestry of life, contrasting the distress of the many people who experience mental health problems with the pioneering efforts of those who try to provide relief. Psychiatric nursing is traced from the role of "Keeper" to Mental Health Nurse". The language of psychiatry includes lunacy, workhouses, asylums, moral defection, attendants and mental nursing, through to the current emphasis on community mental health care. The author observes the speed with which new ideas have been absorbed into clinical practice - and the equal speed with which they became and do become outdated and discredited. The implication is that society has still a long way to go in both the understanding and the response to the problems of life that have been observed and documented since man began to contemplate and write.

"Prader-Willi Syndrome: Home, School and Community" describes research and practice relating to this condition. Relatively little has been written about the complex social, educational and behavioural issues that arise until now. This is the first book to discuss the concerns and options and provide practical examples. It is easy to read, addressing the major problems from the child's and family's perspectives. Recommendations cover childhood and adult phases of development. Practical suggestions for dealing with a range of issues concerning parents are included. Based on a study of families with a child or adult with Prader-Willi, the behavioural and social challenges including quality of life at school, home and in the community are examined. The challenges and possibilities which are emerging concerning behavioural and social intervention are anticipated. This book is recommended to all professionals in health, education and social services working with those with Prader-Willi syndrome. There is information that parents may also find useful.

This book should be of interest to speech & language therapists; health managers; disability counsellors; and rehabilitation specialists.
