Back to Normal

In "Back to Normal," clinical psychologist Dr. Enrico Gnaulati explores how and why many American children are being overdiagnosed with serious psychiatric conditions, often based on behaviors that are normal childhood reactions or temperaments. Drawing on his clinical experience and current research, he examines factors like diagnostic practices, societal attitudes, and incentives that contribute to this trend. The book includes stories of misdiagnosed children and offers guidance for distinguishing true disorders from typical developmental behaviors, emphasizing hope and alternative interventions for parents and caregivers.
