Editorial Reviews

Review
"Woods et al., who are themselves leaders in the field, have brought together many of the most accomplished clinicians and researchers working today in chronic tic disorders. Out of these efforts has come a truly integrated model of tic psychopathology and treatment. This book is an essential guide for clinicians and researchers in fields from clinical and school psychology and psychiatry to neurology, and will provide a springboard for similar work on other neurobehavioral disorders that have yet to benefit from such a comprehensive approach."--Martin Franklin, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
 
"This wonderful book by masterful clinicians who are also expert researchers belongs on the shelf of everyone who works with children with tic disorders. Blending clinical wisdom with the best available evidence, the book will be a consultant on your desktop: an invaluable reference and an incomparable guide to getting patients in difficult situations unstuck. Highly recommended."--John S. March, MD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Duke University Medical Center
 
"The coverage of topics is impressive and will appeal to both researchers and practitioners. The section on managing secondary problems--including family issues, problems with learning and social behavior, and occupational/vocational difficulties--is especially noteworthy. These are areas that are too often neglected when treating individuals with Tourette syndrome (TS), and that have been inadequately covered in other publications. Anyone involved in the assessment and treatment of individuals with TS must have this book."--T. Steuart Watson, PhD, Department of Educational Psychology, Miami University


"This is an accessible book, written by expert clinicians and researchers, bringing together the latest evidence on the medical and psychosocial management of tic disorders and associated conditions. It integrates the range of approaches which are needed in the treatment of what often is a complicated neurodevelopmental condition. It draws on the research which has informed the comprehensive, integrated, model of Tourette Syndrome....It is easy to read, enjoyable, informative, and overall clinically relevant. It is designed...to be consulted as a whole; however, each chapter can still be read separately to inform specific aspects of management of Tourette Syndrome, tic disorders, and associated conditions. It represents a valuable resource for professionals working in child mental health services, including developmental neuropsychiatric teams, paediatric neurologists and neuropsychologists, educational psychologists and community pediatricians with interest in neurodevelopment."--Child and Adolescent Mental Health Journal

"Each chapter of the book offers something unique, and though all of them could be pulled out and used separately, the authors recommend an integrated treatment approach afforded by the use of the whole book....I enjoyed reading this book. It is thorough, and it gave a very good up to date review and critique of the literature on every aspect of TS. It is written in an authoritative manner, giving up to date methods for assessment and treatment of every aspect of this disorder and of its complications. I highly recommend it for all practitioners who deal with patients who suffer from TS."--Journal of the Canadian Academy of Children and Adolescent Psychiatry

"An excellent guide to the clinical management issues involved in treating individuals with TS. For clinicians treating patients with this disorder, this book will provide the proper tools. I highly recommend it."--Doody's Review Service

"This book gives a complete and highly readable overview of the multiple features and variable expression of a complex neurodevelopmental disorder....The book captures the nuances of tic disorders and provides a broad and balanced discussion of tics and other cognitive and behavioral correlates."--NASP Communiqué
 
 


Product Description

Grounded in a comprehensive model of Tourette syndrome (TS) and related disorders, this state-of-the-art volume provides a multidisciplinary framework for assessment and treatment. Leading authorities present the latest knowledge on the neurobehavioral underpinnings of TS, its clinical presentation, and how to distinguish it from frequently encountered co-occurring disorders, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Strategies for managing symptoms and providing effective support to children and families are thoroughly detailed, with an emphasis on integrating medication and psychosocial therapies. Several chapters also address clinical work with adults with TS. User friendly and practical, the book includes three reproducible assessment tools.
