Trade ReviewThis book takes a straightforward approach to a problem that most people find too embarrassing to discuss even with their doctors. Incontinence is a problem that has many effective treatments. Staying Dry gives people encouragement to explore those treatments and offers hope for a cure. We recommend it for every family who would like to know more about theproblem. ParentCare This client-centered workbook for managing urinary incontinence is a welcome addition to the self-help literature. Journal of Gerontological Nursing This is a clearly written handbook that patients will find easy to read and to understand. Incontinent patients are in need of a reference book that specifically addresses them. Although the primary audience for this book is the patient, the physician may be interested in seeing how a difficult topic can be made simple. Journal of American Geriatrics Society An excellent book... If urinary incontinence is a problem for you, this could be the best 12.95 you could spend. Dr. Art Ulene
