5.0 out of 5 stars Leckman and book is right on., Oct 26 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Tourette's Syndrome—Tics, Obsessions, Compulsions: Developmental Psychopathology and Clinical Care (Hardcover)
I bought this book after I found it mentioned in several posts and chat rooms for Tourette's Syndrome.

James Leckman and his book are held in high regard by the TS community.

If you are looking for an approach to the problem that doesn't involve drugs, look here, it is covered. There are techniques and methods explained, such as Habit Reversal, that have been validated as working for TS; validated over a long time. The method was originated in 1973 by Azrin. ....

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource to have in your reference library, Nov 7 1999
By Elizabeth G. Warner (Equinunk, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Tourette's Syndrome—Tics, Obsessions, Compulsions: Developmental Psychopathology and Clinical Care (Hardcover)
Even if you work with only one or two children with Tourette's Syndrome, this compilation of over 25 years of research results with a client base of thousands is an excellent resource to have in your reference library. The documentation of multidisciplinary contributions makes it convenient to explore concepts further without having to search through a wide variety of professional journals. Two useful features include the summary of one chapter and preview of the next on the same page and the assessment tools found in the Appendices. The recommended treatment approach focuses on supporting development of the child over time, rather than just eliminating symptoms. A multidisciplinary team of professionals can provide a variety of treatment approaches to address the factors affecting the child at home and at school. Coordination by a flexible, non-doctrinaire clinician, and partnerships with parents and teachers are encouraged. While the authors suggest that the school psychologist fill this role, not all schools have access to one with the necessary perspective on treatment. Instead, the licensed professional social worker is more likely to employ the multidisciplinary, strengths-based, coordinated approach to caring for children with Tourette's Syndrome and related conditions. Contributions from licensed professional social workers would be an asset to the next edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is an excellent resource, Sep 16 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Tourette's Syndrome—Tics, Obsessions, Compulsions: Developmental Psychopathology and Clinical Care (Hardcover)
This is one of the best and most comprehensive works on Tourette's Syndrome I've come across. Scientists and/or practitioners working with people who have TS should buy this book. As a psychologist who works with people who have TS, I've found this book to be my best resource on the subject.
