Reviews

Professor David I. Mostofsky has done it again. He has edited a wonderful book presenting a point of view that differs markedly from most works of this kind. The excellent combination of topics, covered by some of the best researchers and clinicians in the field makes this a must read book by everyone with some interest in behavioural medicine. —Professor Hege Randi Eriksen, University of Bergen
