    In this new reissue of a classic, child psychologist Mira Rothenberg writes of her groundbreaking work with autistic and severely disturbed children, sharing the stories of some of her most challenging patients.
    Mira Rothenberg has been instrumental in developing treatments and clinical distinctions for autistic and severely disturbed children that are separate from those who are mentally disabled. A licensed psychologist with over forty years of experience, Rothenberg was the cofounder and clinical director of Blueberry Treatment Centers, Inc., the first internationally recognized therapeutic agency for treatment of autistic and schizophrenic children. Named Woman of the Year by the New York City Chamber of Commerce and National Organization for Mentally Ill Children, she lives in Brooklyn where she sees patients in her private practice.

    "Mira Rothenberg's insightful and unique ability to turn the suffering psyche into a landscape which must be entered and explored was fundamental to the understanding of mental illness I brought to A Beautiful Mind. She is also one hell of a mother."
    —Akiva Goldsman, Rothenberg's son, and Academy Award winner, Best Adapted Screenplay, for A Beautiful Mind

    "Vivid and profoundly moving...I found myself looking at the ordinary children I know with renewed respect and wonder...The line of separation, this book teaches us, is very thin indeed."
    —Henry Mayer, The New York Times Book Review
