Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Temple Grandin was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. An intelligent child with a thirst for knowledge, but unable to properly express herself or control her behaviour, Temple struggled through grade school. Eventually moved from a "normal" school to an educational program for autistic children, she began to suffer "nerve attacks." Now Temple tells the story of how she went from a fear-gripped, autistic child to a successful professional and a world leader in her field. A chronicle of perseverance and courage, EMERGENCE gives new hope and insight into the tragedy of autism and the vast potential of the human spirit. Book News Annotation:Offers psychiatrists and pediatricians a theory-based and empirically
driven model that is straightforward to apply, simple to explain to
families, and the outcomes of which are measurable for the increasing
demands of health care organizations. Explains the general features
of the model, initiating therapy, the therapeutic components of
intervention with both children and parents, and joint parent-child
sessions. Includes many case studies. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95.
