This review is from: Disorders of Learning in Childhood (Hardcover)
This book is must reading for the child psychiatrist in training or in practice! The title is deceptive it involves much more then just learning disorders it is a comprehensive textbook of child psychiatry! Topics covered include Autism,Tourette's, ADHD, organicity, soft neurological signs, traumatic brain injury, specific learning disability, learning disorders, educational interventions, psychological testing etc.. It will give clinicians a perspective they will not able to achieve reading most child Psych. textbooks. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Jorge J. Villalba, MD, FAACAP.

This review is from: Disorders of Learning in Childhood (Hardcover)
At one point or another in our careers we are going to be called upon to counsel children who present with learning difficulties and their families. This book is an excellent resource that will greatly enhance the counselor's understanding of these often mysterious issues. Comprehensive in scope, the authors present the current thinking in the field from the disciplines of education, sociology, psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience.
