New book by Michelle Garcia Winner and Pam Crooke. For individuals to read on their own. We developed this book from our clinical experience working with very high functioning adults who have social learning challenges. Another possible title for this book was, "Good Intentions Are Not Good Enough" given our observation that our clients have such good intentions and simply want to appreciated for what they are attempting to contribute (just like all of us)! In this book, we have explained the ideas and lessons we often review in our clinical sessions to help our professional adults learn about the social world cognitively since they have struggled to learn this intuitively. "Michelle's books... are extremely practical and full of positive solutions" - Stephen Borgman, Psychology Today
