Most Helpful Customer Reviews   19 of 19 people found the following review helpful: Excellent resource, 5 Sep 2001 By A Customer I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for detailed information about different contraceptive methods, their failure rates and side effects. Whether trying to choose a method to use, or as a doctor having to answer patients' queries, this is an invaluable resource. It is well laid out and highly readable with clear answers backed up with clinical evidence. Excellent.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

It answers all those niggling questions that your patients ask you, and that you ask yourself - what else do you need?...  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   3 of 28 people found the following review helpful: Provides an interesting insight, 25 Feb 2002 By A Customer The book provides a detailed explanation of the various methods of contraception available. With full explanations (probably the first time in your life that you will have access to the full facts) of how each method works. A must for any woman of reproductive age wishing to avoid pregnancy - although not a light read. Finally it provides a, sometimes shocking, yet very interesting insight into how the medical profession often overstep the care relationship and become patronising and paternalistic.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
