Alan Rees Reviews
Alan Rees is a guru of consumer health titles for libraries. He is regularly featured in Majors' newsletter, A MAJOR Report on consumer health for librarians.In the Fall 2001 A MAJOR Report, Alan Rees reviews two Patient-Centered Guides:
-
Lung
Cancer: Making Sense of Diagnosis, Treatment, and Options
"A highly readable guide to diagnosis and staging, finding the right treatment team, prognosis, treatment of non-small cell and small cell cancers, experiencing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, adverse effects of treatment, recurrence of disease, and clinical trials. Other topics covered include sexuality and fertility, reduction of stress, finance and employment issues, 'If All Treatments Have Failed,' and how to research your illness. Resources listed include organizations, print publications, and online sites." -
Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder: Helping Children & Adolescents
"Waltz, who successfully coped with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) as a child and as a mother of two children diagnosed with OCD, offers an informative guide to the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of the illness. An extensive list of treatment and resource centers, books, Web sites, and online discussion groups is particularly valuable."
