Review
"Getting the balance right between being clear about the complex state of scientific understanding of a disorder and being able to translate what we do know into readable and scientifically sound advice for practitioners and parents is a difiicult challenge. Paricia Howlin′s book meets the challenge head–on and succeeds admirably..." (Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Vol 5. No.1)
