C&T and Perspectives Series

Control and Therapy and Perspective series articles are accounts by practitioners of what they do for the control and therapy of diseases and problems which they meet day by day in their practices. As these articles come from all over Australasia, and indeed from some other countries such as Papua New Guinea and South Africa, UK, Argentina and many other countries, they form a very vibrant forum for the exchange of in-practice ideas.

Perspective articles on important topics are also produced. These represent deeper consideration by the author and are more thoroughly researched.

The CVE welcomes contributions for the Control and Therapy and Perspective series. For information please contact CVE Publications.

Articles are searchable through the CVe-library.
