Abstract

[Extract] Consultations with women making reproductive choices are an important part of daily practice. The third edition of this tried-and-true handbook is an important resource, providing clinically relevant, evidence-based, woman centred and easy to understand guidelines.

'Contraception' is primarily written by the Medical Directors of Family Planning New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria – Drs Deborah Bateman, Caroline Harvey and Kathleen McNamee, respectively. These doctors are all experienced clinicians in the area of reproductive health and the handbook authoritatively draws on their collective experience and synthesised international evidence. A range of other experts have been consulted for particular sections and were involved in reviewing the work. The currency and comprehensiveness of the references cited is particularly impressive, as is the index and list of acronyms.
