"There are 35 published books written and geared to the interests of physical therapist assistants. This new text is a welcome addition!
In recent correspondence with Dr. Dreeben, she wrote, 'My interest in developing the information contained in my book was prompted by my own experience fourteen years ago, when I was a PTA student. Later in my career as a PT and an educator in a PTA program, I understood even better that there was a need for an introductory text directed specifically to PTAs that fulfilled part of the curriculum requirements as set forth by the accrediting agency (CAPTE).'"

"I am the director of a Physical Therapist Assistant program in Louisville, KY and I plan on adopted this text as required for the Introduction to Physical Therapy course that I teach.  I have reviewed the text and am quite impressed with its contents.  Ironically, it perfectly parallels our course syllabus, providing a complete resource for all subjects covered in our introductory course.  The fact that the content is geared specifically to the PTA is of significant value as well."
