Healing Passage

Since I began teaching I have heard from many students and even seasoned practitioners regarding how unprepared they were by their training and how unsure they still feel in regard to perineal care and repair. This book was written to respond to the lack of literature on this vital subject. Information and skills are presented in a step-wise manner with the intention of preparing the student to have all the hand-skills needed to begin supervised clinical training. By mastering these skills first, the student is well prepared to begin learning the complexities of actual perineal repair, making that experience far less overwhelming. Experienced practitioners will find this book provides a great review and update of their knowledge and skills as well. The anatomy section is of particular interest. It reviews the current literature and presents many new understandings regarding the anatomy of the soft tissues of the female pelvic cavity, most of which you will not find in other textbooks. A software product --UNDERSTANDING FEMALE PELVIC ANATOMY IN 3D--has been developed to accompany the text to enhance the understanding of this complex and difficult-to-visualize anatomy.
