From Publishers Weekly In this "striking portrait" of Pittsburgh's prominent Children's Hospital, the author argues that the young receive superior care in institutions devoted solely to them. "Employing a journalist's 'fly on the wall' strengths of observation, rendering insights with novelistic verve, Gutkind recounts hospital procedures . . . and chronicles a procession of tragedies and triumphs," said PW.

Hidden Treasure is a follow up to Oaklander's first book, Windows To Our Children. Most of the books available in working with this population are written from a traditional 'play therapy' point of view. The Gestalt Therapy-based approach provides a more effective method for psychotherapeutic work with children of all ages. The focus is on the relationship between the therapist and client, rather than observation and interpretation. It is a vigorous, dynamic approach.Violet Oaklander uses a wide variety of creative, expressive and projective techniques in her work, and each chapter reflects and exemplifies the use of this work in the service of therapy. The approach is applicable to a wide variety of ages, as well as individual, family and group settings. The book will interest child and adolescent psychotherapists, psychologists, social workers, counselors, interns, school personnel as well as graduate-level students. Parents may also find it helpful, as well as adults who are interested in the child within.

As the pastPresident ofthe Israel Society forAutism, it gives me great pleasure to c- gratulate Professor Schopler and his colleagues on the publication of their new book concerning the relationship between scientific research and treatment. When we in Israel began our specifically structured education program for young children with autism, our work was based on slim to scarceknow-how andinformation, and with no experience whatsoever. Whatever information we could gather was mostly from psychological educational centers in the U.S. One of the most important and significant connections was established between the TEACCH program of North Carolina, led and conducted by the two important scholars, Professor Eric Schopler and Professor Lee Marcus, and our Israel Society for Autism. During our many encounters, seminars, and conferences, we profited enormously from all their accumulated expertise and scientific research, while perhaps it was also an important experience for them to see how a young society with very limited means was eventually shaping its educational program and arriving at some excellent results. We, ofcourse, have the highest esteem for Governor Hunt who has been following this program with so much attention and support, and we still remember his visit to Israel with distinguished representatives of the TEACCH Program. I wish the new book every success. I know it will be an enormous contribution to all those who must cope with a difficult and painful issue—autism—for whom there is no end to the need for research and continuously improving methods of care and education.

Dr Herbert Barrie was a leading figure in paediatrics and a pioneer in neonatology. He passed away in 2017 yet his story lives on in his own words. Now published by his son, Putting Tiny Patients Firs t is a collection of tributes, articles, editorials and anecdotes penned by this astonishing man and those that knew him best, spanning a staggering career that hugely advanced paediatrics and neonatology. As a paediatrician he was much sought after, looking after the children of actors, politicians and the aristocracy - but he was best known for his ground-breaking work in the care of the preterm infant. In his early days, Herbert would reward his medical team with champagne whenever they had a survivor of a difficult neonatal ordeal. This was a time when very few babies born before 32 weeks survived, and those who did often suffered brain damage. Dr Herbert Barrie pioneered advances in resuscitation of the newborn; he published his findings and a film showing the practicalities of resuscitating a preterm infant was shown around the country. But his work went further: Herbert penned hundreds of articles and stories in a wide assortment of journals, periodicals and magazines. Highbrow articles detailing his research, amusing anecdotes, commentaries that were necessarily controversial. Many are included in this elegant book. Putting Tiny Patients First , compiled and edited by his son, tells the inspiring story of Herbert Barrie’s life as a paediatrician.
