Reviews

The intent is to provide a multidisciplinary, evidence-based reference for primary care providers on the diagnoses and disorders that affect male patients of all ages. The audience is clinicians in the primary care setting. ... This book is quite current in its articles, which are well researched and well written with a very helpful section on motivational interviewing to help work through the barriers to providing care for men.
