"Drs. Angres and Talbott's book is by far the most comprehensive book published in this important area. Dealing with the addicted physician and other health care professionals represents a specialized body of knowledge. This fine book describes the unique characteristics of intervention, treatment, and monitoring of addicted physicians and is an important reference for any individual or institution working with this special population. This book is valuable for anyone concerned about the problems of addiction in our society, as well as those trying to understand the complex problem of addiction in the health care profession." -- David E. Smith, M.D., President and Founder, Haight Ashbury Free Clinics
