A must-have book for any personal library.” - Louis Puglisi, MA “I found Dr. Feldmar’s book to be very informative. He cuts through the professional jargon, and makes it easily understandable for the lay person. It is an invaluable reference book for every household.” - Gabor Kovacs, MD, FACS “After reading Dr. Feldmar’s book, I feel it should be mandatory reading for all parents. In a world of confusion about psychological labels, this book gives the reader a clear understanding of the problems and conditions we all face. For those of us dealing with people under stress at work or home, this book is a valuable tool.” - Edward M.
