"This book, written by two of the world's authorities on urinary disorders, is an excellent overview of the management of the disorders of the pelvic floor, using a collaborative, yet inclusive, approach. The authors have condensed a very broad field into a readable, yet authoritative, text, which is comprehensive in its inclusion of the spectrum of interventions for pelvic floor dysfunctions. The unique merging of nursing and medical care to create a broad strategy will benefit patients by emphasizing a step-wise, progressive group of interventions. This is a must for those seeking a text which is truly state of the art in its context."
–Roger Dmochowski, M.D., Professor, Department of Urology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center

"An outstanding piece written by two of the foremost world's experts. This should form the foundation for a very much needed ‘core curriculum’ in incontinence for the primary care provider."
