"By approaching women's health from a biopsychosocial perspective,
Loue and Sajatovic have designed an encyclopedia suitable for both
health professionals and general readers. The first section
introduces women's health with a detailed examination of its
history, women in health professions, the impact of work on women's
health, and women's role in providing health care. The second
section, alphabetically organized, addresses medicine, legal
issues, history, beauty, and complementary and alternative
approaches to health….This encyclopedia meets the need for a
comprehensive, up-to-date reference work that incorporates social
awareness with clinical knowledge." Summing Up: Highly recommended.
All collections.
(J. M. Coggan, Choice, January 2005) From the reviews: "This is an
authoritative, valuable and comprehensive encyclopedia, which
outlines the wide range of health concerns that women face today. …
The authors have done an admirable job … . offers readers practical
information, historical aspects and future directions, all
meticulously researched and conveniently presented. … This timely
encyclopedia minimizes medical jargon and uses language that the
general public can understand, while still providing detailed
coverage … . I would highly recommend it for reference use in any
clinical library." (Lindsey Baker, Reference Reviews, Vol. 19(4),
2005)
