Neat book for quick reference by S. Shah (Los Angeles,CA)  4 Stars
October 30, 2006
This is a pretty good little reference book for those times when you need a quick refresher. It offcourse lacks in details ,but has sufficient info for therapists using PAMs for a while.I won't recommend this for a new grad.
