The book is recommended to teachers, school principals, psychologists, and other professionals working with international adoptees.' Alex Kozulin, PhD, Achva Academic College and the Feuerstein Institute, Israel 'This book is an eye-opener … With equal measures of wisdom and compassion, Gindis provides careful guidance for accurate diagnoses, and introduces educational and clinical approaches specifically geared to address the educational, social, and emotional issues of internationally adopted youngsters. Everyone working with internationally adopted children of any age will find this book rich in resources and insights about child development.' Dr Patty Cogen, psychotherapist and author of Parenting Your Internationally Adopted Child 'Dr Gindis taught me so much about learning challenges and behavioral issues when I was evaluating patients before and after their adoption. This book is a great contribution that explains the traumatic aspects in the lives of orphans coming from orphanages.' Dr Jane Aronson, Director, International Pediatric Health Services, and Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Weill Cornell Medicine, USA 'This detailed, practical, and logically presented book will become an invaluable resource for both professionals and parents, mostly in North America and Western Europe, who adopted children from abroad, particularly from the countries of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.'
