«'In this book, Dr Deepan Singh, along with other contributors, has set out his perspective as a psychiatrist seeing people with PWS in the context of the American health system. I admire his commitment seeking to cover this complex area in these 15 chapters, which range widely in their content including topics as diverse as caregiver burden and the neurobiology of PWS. Importantly, Dr Singh draws upon particular areas of psychiatric knowledge applying them to our understanding of PWS.' Anthony Holland, Emeritus Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, UK»
«'Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is more than just a rare genetic disorder. It is a complex syndrome with many challenging symptoms. Dr Singh not only names and describes these symptoms, he also provides practical recommendations for managing them. This book covers the spectrum of common behavioral problems seen in PWS in terms and language people without medical training can understand, and it delves deeper into the neuro-behavioral manifestations aimed at medical professionals who will care for patients with PWS. This book is a great reference tool for everyone from families who have just received their diagnosis to caregivers of older children experiencing many of these behaviors to medical professionals who will counsel these patients, parents and caregivers.'
