Adolescent Health:

Case Scenarios

Swati Y. Bhave

New Delhi: Byword Books Private Limited; 2011.

Page: 384. Price: Rs.995/-.

This excellent treatise on adolescent health speaks of volumes about the passion, zeal and knowledge of its editor, a renowned name in adolescent health. Dr Swati has used a pedagogical technique for learning that is very appropriate for busy practitioners; i.e. by discussing the problems of adolescents through case-studies. The case-studies span over a wide variety of topics related to ethics, growth, nutrition, sexuality, and mental and physical health. The book is hardbound and printed in a single color on good quality paper. The practical utility could have been enhanced by representative illustrations, and an Index for quickly locating the desired material. Overall, a must read for all pediatrics practitioners, postgraduate students and those involved in care of adolescents.
