Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is based on the integrative CBT method for group therapy that the author has developed, in which she presents a detailed protocol of a special model for adults with Asperger's (ASD) syndrome.
I found this book to be fascinating and interesting. It helps the reader deepen and expand his perceptions and lays out a valuable rehabilitation program that enables this population to advance towards self-realization and to fully express their ability to successfully integrate into society-at-large." - Dafi Vitla, writer

"This book is rooted in the humanistic approach and applies the Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment (CBT) methodology. It is intended for psychologists, social workers, educators, rehabilitation and special-education professionals, employers, parents and anyone with special interest or connection to the autistic spectrum.
I found this book to be rich with information and insights regarding Asperger's (ASD), providing the tools for coping, advancing and empowering this population and all who are involved with them.
An important book! I highly recommend it!" - Mally Peleg, M.A., Senior Clinical Social-Worker
"This book is an important addition and contribution to the ever-growing literature regarding the autistic spectrum. It focuses on the population of those diagnosed with Asperger's (ASD), offers a unique protocol that focuses on developing skills in communication and social life skills, and includes well-organized and detailed guidelines that address the critical areas to help these adults develop independent lives. The book is written from a positive and humanistic approach that emphasizes inner strength and optimism. It is warmly recommended for parents, relevant professionals and anyone related to the field, including the adults themselves diagnosed with Asperger's (ASD)." - Senior Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D

From the Author

My adult daughter surprised me when she told me - excitedly, that while surfing the internet, she had read about a phenomenon called "Asperger's Syndrome (ASD)" and then added: "That's exactly like me".
This discovery of hers, enabled us to begin our journey in search of the most suitable help for her, following which, I decided to draw on my professional expertise on the relevant fields and develop a rehabilitation program for adults with this syndrome, in the form of a practical guidebook.
The aim of this book is to provide answers for the special needs of this group of adults, who experience social isolation and its repercussions. It is possible to help them integrate into the neurotypical world (the populations that are not on the autistic spectrum), in accordance with their abilities and without losing touch with their true selves. All this is implemented via rational, reasonable and well-planned intervention, through a better realization of the individual's natural skills, promoting emotional well-being, occupational satisfaction and independence for adults with Asperger's (ASD). A tolerant approach from an accommodating environment will help them feel understood and accepted and open to change.
This book is a guidebook for therapists and group facilitators. It is written in a style that is accessible and sensitive to parents, and to anyone who is interested in acquiring tools for treatment and assistance. This book constitutes a significant stage in the efforts to aid progress for this unique population.
