Product Description

Review

This excellent book manages to give a concise, balanced, practical and remarkably comprehensive discussion of almost all the questions and problems which children with Tourette's syndrome and their parents may face. In addition, there is a wide-ranging bibliography for those who wish to pursue the subject further, and a list of Tourette syndrome associations and interested physicians throughout the world. It is a most valuable resource. (Oliver Sacks M.D. )

Product Description

Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome (or Tourette's Syndrome), is an inherited neuropsychiatric disorder affecting about 5 people in every 10,000. It is characterised by motor and vocal tics, and upsetting anti-social behaviour such as involuntary swearing and obscene gestures. This book, written by a psychologist and a psychiatrist who have been researching Tourette's Syndrome for many years, explains the causes of the syndrome, how it is diagnosed, and the ways in which it can be treated. Essential reading for Tourette's sufferers, their relatives and friends, Tourette's Syndrome: The Facts will also be of use to clinicians, GPs, schoolteachers, and anyone seeking an accessible introduction to the disorder.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it!, 28 Oct 2000

By A Customer

This book offers a good all round description of Tourette Syndrome, and starts with stories of 3 different people with 3 different presentations of TS - from very mild to severe. Well worth buying

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but the facts were dry, 16 Feb 2007

By	Juicy Lucy (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews

To say a book contains 'The facts' often puts me off, but I do have a huge interest in this subject and especially Tourette's.

The book is really aims, I felt, at parents, and while that is fine in itself, it didn;t really give me a picture of what Tourette's is all about, despite the multiple 'facts'.

I also found the style a bit on the dry side - almost patronising at times, as though it was saying 'we are the experts and this is how it is'. But from what I've read in other books on the same subject, it isn;t always as cut and dry as the authors suggest.

The facts in the book are not exactly compelling and the way in which Tourette's actually affects people was washed over.

The again, it is a small book, but i did really feel that it should have at least tried to aproach this disturbing condition from a more human angel.

A bit disappointing really.
