(P/B) WHAT ABOUT ME?

Παρουσίαση

"An excellent guide for families and mental health professionals alike. Drs. Siegel and Silverstein's new book provides the parents and siblings of a developmentally disabled child with the information and understanding needed to promote a better family life. This is a hands-on manual, with tips for resolving conflicts, along with questionnaires, exercises, and a chapter on legal issues. What About Me? is a wonderful resource and one that families with disabled children have needed for a long time." - Edward Zigler, Ph.D., Sterling Professor of Psychology, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut.
