Quoted
"This is a wonderful reference for healthcare providers from various disciplines. The book is devoted to psychosocial topics which is its strength because the patient's psychosocial needs can be lost in the fast-paced, short-staffed, high-tech world of healthcare."

-- Marilyn Sample, B.S. and M.S. (Indiana State University)
