A multigenerational, intrapersonal practical counseling tool
Family systems are facinating, dynamic, and multidimensional.Psycologists and counselors have developed systems for studying them.M. Bowen and Systems Theory are well linked to the development and use ofgenograms in family and individual therapy, for instance. Genogramare used in American Association of Marriage and Family Thereapistsclinical training and supervision programs, and are an important tool inthe clinical process.Medical schools and practices, genetic counselors,and even business and organizational settings find them useful.Genograms, though, have their limitations which the authors summarize well,proceeding to make a clear case for what they have developed: theMultilayered Focused Genogram (MFG).They make a graphic comparison ofcurrent genograms as normal X-ray exam, to MFG system which for them islike the hospital MRI exam, providing much more in-depth information.Actually, the MFG is a combination of the Basic Genogram, Family Map andTime Line, amplified with one or more Focused Genograms.It is aninclusive system of assessing issues in all aspects of a client's personaland multi-generational history as well as present day circumstances.I appreciate the format of the book for its clarity.In the first third,the authors address succinctly each of the three main components of MFGsusing vignettes and rationals for collecting and organizing so much dataabout the client and his or her family system.They provide practicalapplications and diagrams for the clinician's immediate use. The lasttwo thirds of the book address Focused Genograms, outlining a surprisingfifty plus possible topics of focus, and concentrate a chapter on the majorones: attachments, emotions, anger (as an important, specificallyindependent focus), gender, sexuality, romantic love and culture.Thefirst part of each of these last chapters is a guide to the constructionand uniqueness of each, while the last half gives the basic theoreticalconcepts and research that supports the inclusion of the particular topicsfor each Focused Genogram. Though the book does not pretend to be acritical review of the literature, the text is peppered with references,each chapter offers suggested reading, and includes a good bibliography ofover 225 books as well as comments on two computerized genogram programs. Neither is the book a complete exploration of the topical areas but ratheran strong overview, and therefore, would be useful to graduate students (incounseling, psychology, genetics, medicine, or business) or anyone whowanted to upgrade their current use of genograms to incorporate thismeaningful and extensive MFG tool into their counseling practice.Focused Genograms kept my interest throughout, and it was well worth mytime.I will make good use of the practical list of suggested question itcontains in every chapter with my clients starting right away. ...

A good book not for beginners, not for pros
Essentials of Human Diseases and Conditions looks and reads much like my college anatomy and physiology text with a good glossary and many colorful illustrations.It does not have pre- or post- tests, or chapter objectivesor reviews.The book is easy on the eyes and easy to browse; not formattedas a crowded exhaustive reference.Read more

Non-Working Disk
The disk that came with the book is a data disk only, and does not contain the program that created the data.That is why the data disk is not a workable disk, unless you have The Medical Manager installed on your computer!The book is too geared to be used with the Medical Manager Software Program, and is difficult to read it as a stand alone book.
Medical Manager review
I am an instructor for the Medical Manager class and have been for over 5 years.I have used almost every version possible with the Medical Manager.This is a fairly good book for students to learn from.As long as the person reads the instructions and then looks at the exercises, they should have NO problems.However, if the person just looks at the exercise and does not read the material, they may have difficulty.Some of the exercise/pictures are different then the actual reading part but not too many.Overall this book makes it fairly simple to learn this program.

not very good
Confusing to follow instructions for data entry.

Outstanding!
This book is incredably well-written. Although I had not read a statistics text in 12 years, this book balanced theoretical development, explanation, and examples in such a way that it was actually easy to read. The organization of the book makes looking up a particular topic very easy. The reference list is extensive. The best thing about the book is the set of graphics and maps to illustrate the mathematics, modeling, and outcomes. This book is a must-have for anyone involved in spatial statistics, disease clustering, epidemiology. ... Read more

This is the best book for the CPC examination
This isthe best book for the CPC examination, because it is the professional version of the ICD-9-CM, one accepted for the CPC. I love this book because the books must be published by the AMA, which this is, and you are able to use the professional version for the examination. Get it, by all means, especially if you are going to test for the CPC examination. ... Read more

Misread the title.
This is not due to Seller, I just don't like the book. I am not a transcriptionist.

Highly recommended!
Stedman's "Radiology Words" is a stellar imaging word referencefor the radiology transcriptionist. Being a full-time radiologytranscriptionist and having used Stedman's second edition for many yearswith extremely favorable results, I can only state emphatically that thiscurrent edition has greatly improved by bringing the vastly burgeoningradiological terminology up to date. Imaging modalities have exponentiallyincreased since the last Stedman's Radiology word reference [1995], andwith it, the imaging vernacular has exploded. This third edition hasaccomplished its mission.Read more

Good "Getting Your Feet Wet" Book
Medical Coding has interested me for a while and I bought this book to see if it was something that I wanted to pursue.So far, so good.Surprisingly, it is easy to follow and understand. Be aware that you need to have a the CPT Coding book starting with the Chapter 2 exercises.I found it strange that the answer key for Chapter 2 was incorrect as being misnumbered and having one too many answers for the exercises.I wonder how many other mistakes I'll find in a book that's been around for years.

Excellent Teaching Tool
I teach CPT Coding, and use this as my textbook. It provides excellent examples and explanations of CPT coding concepts, and is in an understandable format. This is the second edition I have taught from, and it will continue to be my text of choice.

Principles of CPT Coding - An excellent tool
This book is an excellent self-learning guide for new coders as well as an excellent refresher tool for intermediate coders.It provides valuable guidelines and excercises to enrich your coding knowledge.It is a tool to be used along with the CPT Code Book - not as a replacement. This book would be well worth the money as a reference book. ... Read more
