Book
"This landmark volume is the first to trace the exciting developments in the field of dwarfism research and treatment over the past century?particularly during the past fifty years. Dr. Betty M. Adelson, a psychologist, has unearthed and synthesized the most significant information about dwarfing conditions, from articles written a century ago to current books and specialized databases. Highlighting the outstanding contributions of Dr. Victor McKusick and several of his colleagues, Dr. Adelson reveals how dwarfism specialists have helped redefine the nature of medical care?transforming it from an authoritarian enterprise into a holistic, collaborative venture among physicians, affected individuals, and their families."--JHU Press
