I recently received this book for review, and after having perused it, felt compelled to pen a brief review for this issue of the Journal that others might learn of it quickly.
Dr. Perko has written a thoroughly informative and easily usable text covering almost all conceivable clinical topics concerning pregnancy, labor, the postpartum period, ailments of the newborn child, and breast and nursing problems. Remedy descriptions are clear, succinct, and highly practical. The organization of the book is impeccable. Information can be easily and quickly accessed, a quality many birthing attendants will find of immense value when emergencies arise.
The ample differential materia medica is organized according to remedies' frequency of utility. The Table of Contents is expanded and a Quick Keynote Reference is provided for faster access to information.
This book is the most thorough and usable working homeopath's reference to homeopathic obstetrics that I have seen to date. I highly recommend it to all homeopaths who maintain an obstetrics practice or who tend to pregnant women and nursing mothers.
