There is a dearth of evidence-based information on prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) for clinicians, who require training to appropriately support patients navigating the mental health and addiction system. This much-needed book provides content useful for professional training across mental health disciplines and addresses topics missing from medical curricula, including the long-term effects of PAE, in-depth discussion of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), and clinical information on the mental disorders relevant to FASD.
