Stress and Women Physicians

This second edition of Stress and Women Physicians has been completely updated to include new research material. It reflects the growing interest in what problems women face in the medical profession and how women cope with these problems. The authors have added interview material with commentaries and personal statements from practising women physicians and expanded the discussion in every chapter. They examine alternatives to full-time medical practice and cover more thoroughly than before the social support that women professionals need and receive. This book gives practical advice to women physicians and is excellent for women contemplating a career in the medical profession. "Vast quantities of information regarding female physicians are collected in this single compact volume. ... Because the material is so well referenced, the reader should find this book an excellent resource for beginning research into specific questions about women in medicine." #Mayo Clinic Proceedings#2 "...This book will be useful to all female physicians and to those who advise them." #JAMA#3
