Opis

Herpes is a condition capable of causing considerable distress, mostly for psychological and social reasons. This text contrasts the media image with medical and epidemiological evidence and discusses ways distress can be alleviated. It is aimed at sufferers, doctors and other health professionals.

Recenzje

' ... as a text that presents a comprehensive overview of this virus and its biological, epidemiological and social consequences, Posner has provided a valuable case study. Like other books in this series, the writing is accessible, focused, relatively jargon-free and well referenced. It is a very useful resource for students in the way this very 'tidy' and fairly slim book demonstrates just what she wanted to deliver.' - Medical Sociology News: A Newsletter of the British Sociological Association December 1998
