Dr. Casa and his colleagues do an extraordinary job…
By addressing each topic individually, and having a subject matter expert write each chapter, this book provides a greater in-depth examination of the practical application of this information. Not only will this book educate readers on current concepts and techniques, it also will serve as a valuable reference for developing strategies, policies, and procedures for practicing clinicians.”
