    “Well-organized, concise, valuable, and timely.” —Library Journal

    “The book is particularly sensitive to the problems of the adolescent. . . . Indeed, the book is a personal document because Dr. Larry Silver, a child psychiatrist who was learning-disabled as a child, shares some of his own experiences.” —Children Today
