Disappointing As Physical Therapy is trying to move toward evidence based practice, how can a book with the term, "Muscle Energy Techniques" in the title be included? The evidence on muscle energy is poor or absent at best. The book of the year is a good one, but the other books need to be reviewed to focus on evidence based practice. Submitted By: Jason Sweas

I appeciate the book review but take great exception to the fact that none of them reflect one of the areas of practice from the Guide to PT PRactice. THere is no Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Text. There have been some excellent acute care and CVP books in 2006 and 2007. This is a huge oversight and very unfortunate for PTs. Submitted By: Donna Frownfelter

I have some of the books on your lists and other similar texts. I have found that the visceral manipulation techniques by Dr. Jean-Pierre Barral (a PT and DO) have greatly enhanced my orthopedic methods and patient outcomes. He has several books that would be good on your list. Submitted By: Catherine Jones, PT

This is a very interesting collection. As Program Director of the PT program at the University of North FL I will forward this to the faculty. As co-author of Psychosocial Aspects of Healthcare, published by Prentiss Hall, I note there are no books on this topic on the list. I think this is an extremely important topic and would suggest you take a look at it or other books like it for consideration for future recommendations. Submitted By: Ann Noonan

I would tend to agree with Mollie's comment. Although my primary interest is in ortho/sports, this list is missing in several areas including general PT and Neuro. No disrespect to Dr. Hughes, but I am not sure how he can be a group of clinical experts! Hopefully the others are just not yet posted. RM Submitted By: Robert Manske

I disagree that these are all the essentials for a PT student or even a new PT. You are missing some key texts in neuro as well as a general physical therapy reference (Into to PT is entirely too basic). Try again. Submitted By: Mollie Venglar
