The newly revised and thoroughly updated MANAGEMENT OF PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME provides the full range of information needed to both understand and manage this complex disorder. The book starts with the history and medical and genetic information to orient the reader. The majority of the text, however, deals with the bread and butter clinical concerns of physicians and nurses who treat these patients, while providing pragmatic guidelines to families, educators, and community and social workers. Undertaken with the cooperation of the Prader-Willi Syndrom Association of America, MANAGEMENT OF PRADER WILLIE SYNDROME is the most complete resource available on the topic.
