Pharmacology in Rehabilitation (Contemporary Perspectives in Rehabilitation) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Charles Ciccone who wrote this text was my teacher in physical therapy school at Ithaca College.Throughout college, everyone knew that if the class was taught by him we would all have an easy time understanding all of the concepts.He was a great teacher who really knew how to explain even the more difficult topics and pharmacology was no exception.This textbook was extrememly useful as it not only explains what types of drugs have specific effects on the body and it's systems, but it is particularly detailed in describing the impact that the drugs may have on rehab.Even in class, this was one aspect that he reinforced.He explained that the reason for talking about certain classes of drugs and then giving a few examples is because the drug world is always changing and so are the names.This way he has provided a wealth of knowledge and in a very easy to understand manner.
I have been out of school for about 3 years and I still occassionally refer to this book when encountering some classes of drugs and this is a great reference to have.I would highly recommend this text to anyone, that is especially if you can't be in one of his classes.
