Rezensionen / Stimmen
The authors are to be congratulated for encompassing so much valuable and clinically applicable information into such a small space...Whatever their speciality and profession, the wisdom and good advice contained in these relatively few pages will benefit the reader, not only once but each time it is perused. * Palliative Medicine^ * `The book is written clearly and in a relatively jargon-free style. There is also reference to research material. It should certainly be accessible to the registered nurse involved in chronic pain management.'
