Psychotherapist Dubin (psychology, Michigan School of Professional Psychology), himself a person with Asperger Syndrome (AS), addresses those with AS directly in his discussion of how the
condition interacts with anxiety and what can be done to manage stress and reduce common health risks associated with it. Some of the chapters explain anxiety as it relates to specific
topics--relationships, employment, shame, health, and spirituality. Others address management techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and supervised psychotherapy. A
chapter on understanding meltdowns is also included. Appended material includes a self-checklist for Asperger characteristics. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
