Anxiety at its worst
This book is quite informative about the little known syndrome of pathological defiance disorder. It's a relief to know that my grandson is not being a brat, but actually experiencing a medical disorder. It has given our family a new outlook and understanding on how to deal with him, and to help his siblings understand his actions.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
