Editorial Reviews

Review
" This little book is a gem. ... a gold mine of information that will prove useful to physicians, psychologists, and educators, In many respects, I found the book to be as helpful as many longer erudite volumes are on the topic of Tourette syndrome, and strongly recommend it." Annals of the RCPSC (Dec 1998)

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 characterized by motor and vocal tics, and upsetting anti-social behavior 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, general practitioners, schoolteachers, and anyone seeking an accessible introduction to the disorder.

4.0 out of 5 stars tourette syndrome the facts, June 4, 2000
An ideal 1st book for those who have recently been diagnosed, and for family and friends.This is easily digested,but has not been "dumbed down".Written in a positive way it contaians some sensible advice about coping with TS in the real world.Written by 2 of Englands top specialists in Tourette Syndrome ,it is a book that gives you the confidence to question the doctors,and answer those posed by people who want to know more about your problrms.The extensive bibliography gives many leads for anyone wanting a more indepth understanding of the syndrome,and the suggested "introduction card" deserves a special credit of its own.This is a book I would recommend to who is interested in the syndrome,at any level.

5.0 out of 5 stars A review of "The Facts", August 28, 2000
By Dani Jameson (Pullman, Washington United States) - See all my reviews
I used this book to help me in writing a paper for one of my psychology classes at a university. It was very useful in helping me decipher a lot of the medical terms that are associated with the syndrome, and also to clear up many of the myths regarding Tourette's Syndrome. It explained the cause, symptoms, treatment and family issues in a way that was very easy to understand. This book would be very helpful to someone who knows a person with Tourette's Syndrome in the understanding of their disease. There is a lot of good information, and also resources to point you in the direction of other research. I learned several things by reading this book, but I think that the most important thing that this book offers is that it clears up the myths and stereotypes that afflict people with this syndrome. I would highly recommend "The Facts".
