Leonard A. Zwelling, Director of Research, University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Clinic and father of a son with AS "Steve Gutstein's Relational Development Intervention program is designed to encourage genuine reciprocal relationships...Because his approach is quite different from conventional social skills programs, we benefit from not only new insight, but practical strategies for parents and professionals as well... This book will undoubtedly help to solve the relationship puzzle."
