Reviews

The book is easy to read due to its language, structure and content. It is presented in simple language and structured into shorter sections, simulating the style of research papers. It cites evidence from published research throughout the text in support of the facts it presents. ... the principles of the book can be applied to any specialty or clinical context where patient compliance and cooperation is key. (Razan Nour, The PMFA Journal, December 17, 2020)
