Book description
Praise for Doing Therapy with Children and Adolescents with
Asperger Syndrome
"Providing an explanation of Asperger's based on a review of
scientific research, Richard Bromfield describes how the
characteristics of the syndrome affect the person's thoughts and
experiences throughout childhood. Psychotherapy based on the practices
described in this book will change the destiny of children and adults
with Asperger Syndrome to one of greater connectivity to themselves
and others. This should become the primary text for pshchotherapists
working with children and adolescents with Asperger's."
-Tony Attwood, PhD, author of The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome
"Dr. Blomfield generously shares his wisdom and experience in
this very accessible, honest, and often moving book. Any clinician who
reads it in its entirely-or even selects a chapter or two at
random-will no doubt discover new paths to take their most complex and
challenging clients and gain a greater appreciation for those with
Asperger Syndrome. Bromfield gives us all a window into a world that
is hard to describe, impossible to imagine, but needs and deserves to
be understood."
