Medical mysteries: from the bizarre to the deadly ... the cases that have baffled doctors

From the files of the hit ABC primetime show Medical Mysteries comes this impossible-to-put-down collection of the strangest medical stories you are likely to hear. Learn about the man who seems to be turning into a tree; the woman who's seasick – on land; the little girl who was born with all her organs reversed; and the musician who can hear everything inside his body – even his eyeballs moving back and forth in their sockets.

Diseases and disorders in infancy and early childhood

This volume covers articles that straddle the psychological-medical continuum. There are articles on disorders typically assessed and treated by psychologists (i.e. ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, depression, learning disabilities), and others typically assessed and treated by medical professionals (allergies, asthma, colic, obesity, SIDS). Included also are articles on the genetic and environmental influences on development and course of these disorders, as well as articles on approaches taken to study diseases and disorders in early life.
