5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent technical book, misleading publisher's blurb, February 4, 2001

This review is from: Tourette Syndrome (Hardcover)

The publisher's statement, cited above, that this focuses on "neuropsychological" issues is wrong. Only a small part does this. The book is the outcome of the June 1999 3rd International Symposium in New York, and contains almost all of the edited talks given there. It is deliberately technical in its approach, and therefore most suitable for physicians, psychologists, and other health care-related professionals who have an interest in Tourette's and its associated disorders. Though costly, I highly recommend it as a "state of the art" publication.
