[These conflicts] have spurred many family planning workers to construct and implement a wholly unauthorized vision of family planning policy, one that melds pure ideology with the complicated truths of individuals� social and sexual lives.... [Joffe] makes a cogent and finely nuanced case for the wisdom-indeed, the necessity- of this vision."</I> <br>&#151<b>Marian Sandmaier</b>, <I>New York Times Book Review</I> <p><I>"A psychosocial presentation at its best, the book probes and illuminates the workers� whole environment, documenting their need for status and engagement to offset meager pay and enervating routine and their need to balance sexual liberalism with concern for immature, vulnerable women. A valuable resource that clarifies human service programs as a whole."</I> <br>&#151<b><I>Library Journal</I></b> <p><I>"A wonderfully alive and readable ethnographic study."</I> <br>&#151<b><I>The Women's Review of Books</I></b> <BR> <H2>About the Author(s)</H2> <P><b>Carole Joffe</b> is a Professor in the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research at Bryn Mawr College.</P> <BR><H2>Subject Categories</H2> <p><A HREF="/tempress/women.html" TARGET="_top">Women's Studies</a> <BR><A HREF="/tempress/science.html" TARGET="_top">Science</a> <BR><A HREF="/tempress/sexual.html" TARGET="_top">Sexuality Studies/Sexual Identity</a> </p> <BR><h2 class="inpageheading">In the series</H2> <P><I><a href="http://www.temple.edu/tempress/health_society.html" onMouseOver="window.status='Click for other books in this series!'; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status=''; return true;" target="_top">Health, Society, and Policy</a></i>, edited by Sheryl Ruzek and Irving Kenneth Zola. </p><p>No longer active.<p><i>Health, Society and Policy</i>, edited by Sheryl Ruzek and Irving Kenneth Zola, takes a critical stance with regard to health policy and medical practice, ranging broadly in subject matter.
