Book SynopsisTrade Review"[Prebunking] is likely our best strategy for winning the misinformation wars." -- Troy Jollimore - Washington Post"[Van der Linden] powerfully analyses why everyone is susceptible [to misinformation], how falsehoods spread, and how to “prebunk” misinformation and “inoculate” ourselves and others against it." -- Andrew Robinson - Nature"A must-read for those of us interested in resisting the spread of disinformation. [Foolproof] highlights the need for vigilance and the importance of developing immunity against it…a timely and valuable resource." -- Dale Hartley - Psychology Today"Van der Linden’s book expertly lays out strategies for counteracting misinformation." -- UNDARK"Thoroughly researched and lucidly written, [Foolproof] is a standout guide to one of the world’s most pressing social issues." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"[A] well-researched, psychologically astute book…and a powerful argument for the effectiveness of delivering a small dose of misinformation in order to inoculate against a major infection…Insightful, convincing, instructive reading." -- Kirkus (starred review)"For quite a while, we’ve needed, in one handy place, high-quality straight information about the low-quality crooked information inundating our lives. In the nick of time, [Foolproof] provides that straight information about the origins, workings, and consequences of misinformation/disinformation-infused messaging.… I am so glad we now have this book. There’s nothing else like it." -- Robert B. Cialdini, New York Times best-selling author of Influence and Pre-Suasion"This brilliant book vividly illuminates the challenges of countering misinformation, showing how human psychology can make us vulnerable to manipulation and conspiracy theories. Van der Linden’s analysis would be utterly depressing, were he not to provide a set of powerful evidence-based "antigens" designed to protect us from false claims. They have never been more needed." -- Sir David Spiegelhalter, author of The Art of Statistics: How to Learn from Data"Foolproof is an astonishingly well-researched overview of a persistent societal problem and a highly readable guide to keeping your mind relatively misinformation-free." -- Andy Norman, author of Mental Immunity, and Lee McIntyre, author of Post-Truth and On Disinformation"Mis- and disinformation have caused a worldwide infodemic, potentially crumbling democracies and eroding our fundamental trust in one another. This outstanding and easy-to-read summary of the science, offered by the foremost scientific authority on the subject, is essential reading for us all." -- Mitchell J. Prinstein, chief science officer of the American Psychological Association"A fascinating, in-depth investigation into the complex landscape of misinformation.… You will never look at your social media feeds in the same way again." -- Angela Saini, author of Superior"An insightful and forensic examination of why our brains entertain disinformation — and the remedies that can protect us all from its real-world harm. For everyone who messages me asking how they can speak to someone who has fallen victim to online conspiracies — this is the book for you!" -- Marianna Spring, BBC Disinformation Correspondent and author of Among the Trolls"Reminding us that we are all susceptible to believing lies, Foolproof is a highly necessary do-it-yourself guide for building mental resilience against false information." -- Dr. Seema Yasmin, author of What the Fact?! Finding the Truth in All the Noise"Sander van der Linden is one of the world’s leading experts on combating misinformation, and Foolproof is the ultimate handbook for navigating — and fighting back against — the tsunami that threatens to drown us in bullshit. Whether you’re facing a sketchy Internet rumor or listening to your uncle spin another conspiracy, this book will give you the best strategies for building immunity against fake news, propaganda, and conspiracy theories." -- Jay J. Van Bavel, coauthor of The Power of Us"Bringing the psychology of misinformation to life, Foolproof… outlines exciting techniques for protecting ourselves and those we care about. One of the smartest and, ultimately, most optimistic books on the subject I’ve read." -- Claire Wardle, cofounder and codirector of the Information Futures Lab, Brown University"Very interesting and important." -- Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational, via LinkedIn

Overall this is a volume that one should have on one's shelf. It provides a rich view of the research and scholarship on modern stepfamilies. The handbook clearly demonstrates why we need to continue to focus on this important family form, as stepfamilies will be with us in growing numbers over the next decades." (PsycCRITIQUES, 6/17/09) "This work looks at stepfamilies from many different perspectives. Each article is well written and heavily researched with current article citations. This allows one to find, in a convenient source, a wealth of information on stepfamilies that should generate questions for future research. This will be of interest to most libraries supporting studies in the family." (ARBAonline, August 2008)Table of ContentsForeword Paul R. Amato. Preface. Contributors. Introduction. Acknowledgments.

Book Synopsis* The only guide to doing talk-and-play therapy with children and adolescents with Asperger Syndrome * Provides clinicians, who frequently have little training with this population, a guide to working effectively to improve the emotional lives of their patients and their families.Trade ReviewSince Lorna Wing (1981) coined the term "Asperger's Syndrome" and provided the first descriptions in English of the profile of abilities of a child with Asperger's Syndrome, there has been an explosion of recognition and interest about the condition, resulting in hundreds of publications. Despite this explosion, there are very few books available to guide the therapist in designing and implementing psychotherapy for the child or adolescent with Asperger's. Dr Richard Bromfield, a clinical psychologist on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, has written a book that exactly meets this need. With eloquence and empathy, Dr Bromfield describes a new therapeutic approach for children and adolescents with Asperger Syndrome and High Functioning Autism. To inform his approach he draws from his clinical knowledge and wisdom based on nearly 30 years experience, the current research and clinical literature, and he illustrates his approach with many rich case examples drawn from his own practice. The approach described by Dr Bromfield [it]draws on and augments the best of the current therapies utilized for Asperger's Syndrome, including cognitive behaviour therapy, language therapies, behaviour therapy and person-centred therapy. It is a relationship-based, whole child approach, within which "what matters most is what children with Asperger's think, feel, say, do and experience" p. 1. Above all, Dr Bromfield advocates a particular attitude toward people with Asperger's because he has dis- covered that this attitude is a defining feature of successful therapy with a person with Asperger's. The attitude is one of respect, curiosity, enthusiasm, hopefulness, with a genuine focus on strengths and growth. The therapist who is infused with Dr Bromfield's vision would also be empirical, tenacious, self-reflective, humble and wise. He or she would be wise in these ways: open to new learning, able to incorporate this new learning into therapy and nondefensive in the face of mistakes. The specificity of Dr Bromfield's topic, his extensive clinical experience, his knowledge of current research, and his skill as a psychotherapist allows a depth of analysis about therapy with children and adolescents with Asperger's that has not been offered about this topic before. The companion volume for clinicians, equal in richness of understanding about Asperger's would be: "The Complete Guide to Asperger Syndrome" by Professor Tony Attwood (2007). Dr Bromfield shows a deep understanding about Asperger's syndrome, for e.g., his descriptions about the condition and his topics for therapeutic intervention both begin with sensory sensitivity, a crucial, but typically overlooked, area of difference and suffering for the person with Asperger's. He points out that "because they can be so hard to understand, children with Asperger's get less understanding, empathy, admiring and confirming—enormously less" p. 8. (my italics added). Dr Bromfield is a clinician, on a voyage of discovery through unchartered territory, drawing on 'pearls' of knowledge gained through the current available research findings, and importantly, discovering new 'pearls' and bringing them back for further analysis by both researchers and therapists. It is an exciting journey and a true testament to the scientist- practitioner model. I can highly recommend this volume as a valuable addition to any therapist's and parent's library. It is a much needed volume because it[this book] not only brings together current knowledge about Asperger's Syndrome, but also provides an excellent framework for how to assist, including how to start therapy, how to help with sensory sensitivities, anxiety, anger and depression, social and communication dif- ficulties, how to use and understand intellect, cognitive style, creativity, and 'theory of mind' in therapy; and how to work with parents. Some therapists will feel confronted by the advice "a therapist beginning with a child with Asperger's can never go too slowly" p. 20, especially in these money-conscious times, but we can take heart from the advice "... often, with Asperger's, slow is the fastest route" p. 68. The volume is highly readable and very moving, Dr Bromfield is an excellent communicator and his heart is in his work. He exhorts us, as therapists, to become involved, to try hard: that we do not have to be perfect or to know everything, and that, with the right approach and attitude, we have good reason to be optimistic about being part of a success story for the child with Asperger's. (Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders) "Bromfield, who is a clinical psychologist, skillfully shares with the reader the beneficial knowledge that he has gained from his thirty years of experience in working with this specialized population. The book is filled with clearly conceptualized case examples that provide practical tips and fresh insights for the benefit of children and families impacted by Asperger's Disorder and high-functioning autism. Bromfield's relationship-based approach to therapy with this population is intended to be utilized in conjunction with other widely recognized, evidence-based interventions for treating children and youth diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders, such as behavioral therapies, speech and language therapies, and social skills training. As such, it is intended to supplement and to mutually inform – rather than to supplant – these allied approaches...[Bromefield] focus[es] the bulk of his discussion on practical strategies for carrying out psychotherapy with children with Asperger's within a context of "human connection and understanding" (p. 174). Bromfield's therapeutic approach with this population is a natural fit with social work's core value of "meeting the child where she is" (p. xviii). Bromfield (p. 99) aims to "see the child in his own completeness and reality" as he details viable methods for encouraging children's unique talents, skills, and predilections in a spirit of realistic optimism."
