Atlas of Contraception 2e

Family planning is a branch of preventive medicine that can have a profound impact on the health of women and their children. Like many other aspects of medicine, certain contraceptive choices require surgical or clinical skills in order to be used correctly. Physicians have taken a leadership role in family planning because they often see the acute suffering that occurs when people are denied contraceptive choice. At the same time, family planning differs from other branches of medicine in two critical ways: it is only successful when those concerned recognize that consumer choice is more important than physician preference and in most cases it deals with healthy people.

This revised and updated Atlas provides a comprehensive guide to modern contraceptive practice. The book is heavily illustrated with color photographs and line drawings that guide the reader through the various options available and provide a valuable educational resource. The supporting text offers a concise description of family planning in today’s world.

Family planning is needed, simple and inexpensive. This book provides an invaluable resource for the wide range of physicians and allied health workers who advise and deliver contraceptive care.
