<p>&ldquo;Why didn&rsquo;t somebody tell me about Syndrome Y before,&rdquo; a parent said in response to being shown a copy of <em>THE SYNDROME Y SOLUTION: EMOTIONAL STRENGTH BUILDING FOR YOUR UNDERPERFORMING, UNMOTIVATED, UNDERACHIEVING SON. </em>&ldquo;It makes so much sense now that somebody has explained it.&rdquo;</p>

<p>If your son is having problems in school and disrupting family life at home and you can&rsquo;t find a reason, this book offers proven help. Many bright and able boys are paralyzed by a puzzling set of symptoms characterized by problems at home, school, and in every-day life. But most of these boys, when tested, are found not to have any disorder that would explain their problems.</p>

<p>Every parent worried about an underperforming son should read this book. It tells the story of how a psychologist saw a distinctive pattern in many boys brought to her for testing because of problems at home and at school. Dr. Karen Chesnutt has identified a set of symptoms that she calls Syndrome Y. More important, she has devised a program of treatment that actually works. Building emotional strength is the key to overcoming underperformance, low motivation, and under-achievement.</p>

<p>Problems resembling Syndrome Y have been described in the past. Some data-driven and research-based books have hinted at Syndrome Y, but this is the first book to offer an effective way to deal with it. Dr. Chesnutt&rsquo;s five-phase program is experience-based and practical. Her program is the first to deal with the &ldquo;why&rdquo; of Syndrome Y and to treat its underlying causes. Her approach is based on many years of experience as a parent, teacher, and psychologist.</p>
