PATHOLOGICAL DEMAND AVOIDANCE SYNDROME: MY DAUGHTER IS NOT NAUGHTY

Book ID/图书代码： 06930015B83537

English Summary/英文概要： Jane Alison Sherwin’s honest and uplifting account provides insight into the challenges of bringing up a child with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). After years of misdiagnosis, Jane’s daughter, Mollie, was diagnosed with PDA at the age of seven, and we follow her experiences pre and post diagnosis to age 10 as she attends school, interacts with the outside world and approaches adolescence. Throughout, Jane provides commentary on her daughter’s behaviour and the impact it has on her family, explaining the ’why’ of PDA traits, including the need for control, meltdowns, obsessive behaviour and sensory issues. She reveals the strategies that have worked for Mollie and provides essential advice and information on obtaining a diagnosis and raising awareness of PDA. The book also includes an interview with Mollie. Full of advice and support, and with a focus on understanding the child and how he or she sees the world, this book will be of immeasurable value to the parents and families of children with PDA as well as the professionals working with them, particularly teachers and teaching assistants, SEN co-ordinators, psychologists, outreach workers and social workers.

Knowledge and understanding of PDA is still at an early stage, but there are exciting developments happening in diagnostic understanding, greater awareness of successful educational approaches and the perspective that is now being gained from further research...Jane Sherwin’s book, the account of the mother of Mollie, a ten-year-old girl with PDA, will add to that knowledge by highlighting the perspective of a parent, as well as giving fascinating glimpses into how the world seems from Mollie’s point of view. --from the foreword and introduction by Phil Christie, Consultant Child Psychologist, The Elizabeth Newson Centre, UK

About the Author/作者介绍： 简•A•谢尔文，1971年出生于英格兰特伦特河畔斯托克。最初她在家庭产业工作，一家地毯和床铺零售卖场，虽然当时年仅19岁，她很快凭借自己的力量成为了一名成功的女商人。2009年时，因为养育六岁的女儿茉利所面对的压力和困难，她放弃了自己的工作，茉利近期曾被诊断为患有亚斯伯格症候群。茉利的状况曾经极其复杂和极端，常常会导致剧烈的情绪崩溃和厌学。直到后来，茉利在七岁时被伊丽莎白纽森中心的菲尔•克里斯提诊断为病态需求回避。另简感到震惊的是，这一病症不仅完全缺乏帮助支持，甚至对于许多专业人士而言都未被充分的意识到和有所了解，2013年其，简开始写作自己的博客，尝试帮助其他病童的父母同时扩散人们对这一症状的认知。简的博客大获成功，她也收到了许多家长的反馈，表达了对她的感激之情；简的博客内容帮助这些父母更好地理解自己的孩子，而这也成为了简写下并出版她的第一本书《病态需求回避——我的女儿并非淘气》的一个契机。

Jane A Sherwin was born in Stoke on Trent, England in 1971. She began to work in the family business, a carpet and bed retail outlet, when she was nineteen years old and soon became a successful business woman within her own right. In 2009 she gave up work due to the pressures and difficulties associated with raising her six year old daughter, Mollie, who had recently been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. Mollie’s presentation was extremely complex and challenging often leading to violent meltdowns and school refusal. She was later diagnosed with Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome, at the age of seven, by Phil Christie at the Elizabeth Newson Centre. Astonished at the complete lack of support, awareness or understanding of this condition from many professionals Jane began writing her blog in 2013 to try to help other parents and to spread awareness. The success of her blog and the feedback that she received from many parents expressing their gratitude and how much her blog posts had helped them to better understand their own child was the catalyst for her writing her first book ’Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome - My Daughter is Not Naughty’.
