Editorial Reviews
Review
"The breadth of this book is clearly a strength. The reader is exposed to a variety of approaches used to examine the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure as well as to the many issues that one must consider in this field....The book is quite appropriate for this audience and is also appropriate for those involved in social policy and law. The book does an excellent job of conveying the complexity of the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure without becoming too esoteric. A person wishing to become well informed about such effects would benefit greatly from reading this book." Sandra J. Kelly, PhD, Journal of Studies on Alcohol

This comprehensive account will be invaluable for gynaecologists, obstetricians, midwives, neonatologists and paediatricians, and for child and adolescent psychiatrists and psychologists.
