The authors have worked together at the Devereux Foundation -- a national provider of residential and outpatient psychiatric, educational, and support services for developmentally disabled children and adults. They bring the authority of experience to their particular ways of integrating an insight-oriented psychodynamic approach with the concrete and structured elements of positive behavioral programming, as illustrated in user-friendly fashion by their nineteen case-study chapters. A welcome resource for all who struggle for normalization and harmony in the lives of children diagnosed anywhere on the developmental disability spectrum.
