| Summary |
"Dyslogical children are commonly labeled as having one or more of a mix of conditions that include attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, bipolar disorder and oppositional defiant disorder. The number of children who can be described as dyslogical continues to rise sharply, and society has a tendency to lay the blame for this trend on poor parenting or bad schooling." "In this book, Bernard Rimland argues that such "conventional wisdom" is not just mistaken but dangerous. He explains how conventional treatments for dyslogical children such as counseling and symptom-masking drugs ignore the real root cause of the dyslogical brain which is not social but biological. Drawing on the latest research, Rimland outlines the impact of biological factors on today's children and exposes the influences of toxins and dietary deficiencies." "Dyslogic Syndrome is full of valuable advice on the safe, effective treatments that are available to children, and offers positive strategies for helping parents and professionals to do the best for their dyslogical child."--BOOK JACKET |
