Rezensionen

"There are few better people who have the breadth of experience, knowledge or skill to lead the debate about the relationship between disease models in neurodevelopmental psychiatry. The book will help to shape a debate that is both timely and important to address."

- Professor Raja Mukherjee, Consultant Neurodevelopmental Psychiatrist
