  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.
