Social Change and Women's Reproductive Health Care: A Guide for Physicians and Their Patients

by N L Stotland

Overview

Changing attitudes and social behavior as well as rapid technological progress are having great impact on women's reproductive health care. In addition to addressing the clinical implications of these new issues, this volume provides a useful and concise text for practitioners of obstetrics and gynecology. Because it deals with the ubiquitous emotional aspects of reproductive health care it will also be of interest to nonspecialists and interested lay readers.
