Cloth. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Very slightly sunned spine to D/J. There are many approaches to the management of cerebral plasy, and few people are conversant with them all. They are markedly different, and a decision to opt for one treatment rather than another can significantly alter the life of the child and his family. As yet there is insufficient evidence to allow a critical comparison of their efficacy or suitability for a particular child. Consequently the editor has chosen to invite six leading practitioners to discuss their views on treatment. Their approaches typify the different types of treatment and cover the range of opinions generally encountered. The book deliberately avoids criticism of the various schools of thought, allowing the authors to make their own cases for the reader to assess. In the introduction, the editor discusses some of the problems of treating cererbral palsied children and of decising what are the optimum treatment aims for a child. He also highlights some of the major criteria by which the various approaches may be compared. The book finishes with an excelllent chapter by Lindsay McLellan, in which he provides a neurological background against which all such treatments need to be viewed, and discusses the further development of our understanding of these disorders and their management. It is an interesting book, providing a unique insight of the problems and work of therapists in this field. Illustrated. 101 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
