Integrated Women's Health

This is the first book to combine holistic nursing and women's health for health care professionals. It integrates biological, psychological, cultural, and social aspects of women's health and health care. It looks at the controversies associated with holistic and alternative therapies and their impact on women--with the goal of helping practitioners help their patients make the best choices possible. A must for any nurse interested in holism.
