Reviews
‘I would recommend this book to parents, GP colleagues and to doctors in training. This is a verygood book - comprehensive, sensible and written with authority. It also has a strong person focus and very good production values. The book is up to date and covers a number of new areas such as legal highs. It does also acknowledge the changing issues and points to current, validated web sources of information. The case histories are strong, illustrate the text and key principles but do not moralise or frighten. Literature articles are used in context and statistical sources are used to show key demographic points. The writing style is excellent: this is a book that is actually difficult to put down!’
