CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGISTS DECIPHER THE HIDDEN DIMENSIONS OF SOCIAL REJECTION

REMEMBER THE KIDS who just didn't fit in when you were a child? Maybe they stood too close or talked too loud. We called them hurtful names and they never understood why. Clinical psychologists Stephen Nowicki, Jr. and Marshall Duke call these children dyssemic, and have some ideas about how to help them.
Dyssemic children do not comprehend nonverbal messages in much the same way that dyslexics do not correctly process the written word. Nonverbal language plays a vital role in our communication with others, and children who understand or misuse it may face painful social rejection, which becomes a part of their lives for the rest of their lives.
InHelping the Child Who Doesn't Fit In, Nowicki and Duke reveal the range of dyssmia that may affect a child and show parents and teachers how to simply assess the extent of a child's problems. Simple exercises at the end of each chapter offer guidance for educating yourself and your child nonverbally.
