Comprehensive and readable, "Understanding Williams Syndrome:
Behavioral Patterns and Interventions" is an essential guide for
all those professionally, scientifically, or personally involved
with this so frequently misunderstood and underserved
population--psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and other
mental health professionals; special educators and vocational
counselors; speech-language, physical, and occupational therapists;
audiologists; physicians; and parents.
In the last 20 years, Williams syndrome has captured the interest
of large numbers of scientists and attracted considerable media
attention in spite of its rarity (estimated at no more than one in
30,000 births). Those diagnosed display a unique pattern of
behavioral, cognitive, and physical limitations and strengths with
fascinating neurogenetic implications--a pattern that poses
enormous challenges to their parents and caregivers.
The authors, a specialist in learning disabilities and a
developmental psychologist, review basic information about Williams
syndrome, its medical conditions, paradoxical profile, and
neurobiological mechanisms; and discuss distinctive features of the
language and perceptual and motor performance of children and
adults with the syndrome.
Other features include:
* Strategies for working with patients.
* An examination of the difference between Williams syndrome and
other developmental disorders.
* Problem-specific alternatives for treatment.
* Analysis of new directions in research, clinical intervention,
education, and systems for care delivery.
Throughout, they stress variations among individuals and subgroups
in ability level, skills, talents, and problem severity; and
emphasize the necessity of recognizing these components in planning
treatment on an individual basis.
