"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."
–Matt T. Rosenberg, M.D., Director, Mid Michigan Health Centers and President, Urologic Health Foundation

"This is an outstanding and comprehensive resource for both the new and experienced clinician involved in continence care.… This book is packed with practical information ranging from assessment instruments, care plans, patient education handouts, to lists of support groups, consumer organizations, and product manufacturers. It is highly recommended for nurses, physicians, physical therapists, and occupational therapists involved in establishing continence programs. It belongs in every long-term care facility and hospital."
–Jean F. Wyman, Ph.D., A.P.R.N., GNP-BC, FAAN, Professor and Cora Meidl Siehl Chair in Nursing Research and Director, Minnesota Continence Associates, University of Minnesota School of Nursing

"This second edition from two of the foremost thought leaders and innovators in the field is extremely well written, and, not unexpectedly, quite thorough.… Upon completion of this text, not only will the reader have a command of the diagnosis and management of urinary incontinence, but he will have an appreciation of how these skills and knowledge can improve the suffering and quality of life of those who are afflicted with this condition. Overall, I highly recommend this text to anyone with an interest in, or who is involved in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary incontinence including students, nurses, residents-in-training and other practitioners and allied healthcare personnel."
-Eric S. Rovner, M.D., Professor of Urology, Medical University of South Carolina

"This second edition is a much needed update and contains the many advances in the field of incontinence care. The authors address the subject with expertise and experience while providing a unique guideline for assessment, which can be applied to patients in any setting…. Treatment options from the most simple behavioral to complex surgical are all-inclusive and provide an excellent resource for providers, caregivers and students.… A 'must have' reference for anyone caring for the millions of people affected by urinary incontinence!"
-Cindy Monaghan, R.N.C., M.S., F.N.P., Director Seton Health Incontinence and Wound Services, Troy, NY
