Tourette Syndrome by Mary M Robertson
Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome (or Tourette's Syndrome), is an inherited neuropsychiatric disorder affecting about 5 people in every 10,000. It is characterised by motor and vocal tics, and upsetting anti-social behaviour such as involuntary swearing and obscene gestures. This book, written by a psychologist and a psychiatrist who have been researching Tourette's Syndrome for many years, explains the causes of the syndrome, how it is diagnosed, and the ways in which it can be treated. Essential reading for Tourette's sufferers, their relatives and friends, Tourette's Syndrome: The Facts will also be of use to clinicians, GPs, schoolteachers, and anyone seeking an accessible introduction to the disorder.
This excellent book manages to give a concise, balanced, practical and remarkably comprehensive discussion of almost all the questions and problems which children with Tourette's syndrome and their parents may faceIn addition, there is a wide-ranging bibliography for those who wish to pursue the subject further, and a list of Tourette syndrome associations and interested physicians throughout the world. It is a most valuable resource. Oliver Sacks M.D.
Robertson, Mary: - Mary Robertson is a wife, mother of three, and small business owner. She has had a love of writing since she was a small child. As life does it took her on an unexpected route. She became a wife at eighteen and a mother at nineteen. Mary has devoted most her young adult life to being a good mother, wife, and an active member in whatever community she is in. Currently, she runs her small business and spearheads multiple community projects. She has learned many of life's lessons at a young age and hopes that her writing conveys a message of love and family, no matter if you're bound by blood or not. Mary loves anything outdoors and derives a lot of inspiration in the history of the Texas Gulf Coast where she lives. Her humble life and country style of living brings a fresh voice to modern writing.
