Among the vast body of literature that has grown around Rett syndrome, this volume is the first to be aimed at both clinicians and researchers. It presents a comprehensive overview of the disorder and examines the areas where gaps in knowledge are most significant.  Rett Syndrome is intended to be a guide for both initial examination and in-depth study of the disorder.   It is a practical text for the physician approaching the disorder for the first time and a valuable reference resource for the specialist or researcher.
