Giustra-Kozek's book provides a methodical approach to understanding the underlying causes of mental disorders that plague so many young people, including Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza.

As a psychotherapist for Sandy Hook families and first responders she states:

"I know firsthand of the devastation and anguish these disorders bring to a person's life. I feel strongly that the wrong medical response to Adam Lanza's autism spectrum disorder may have contributed to this devastating tragedy."

In her book's introduction, Giustra-Kozek wrote:

"As a psychotherapist for 15 years treating, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and related disorders, I witnessed that most medical practitioner's focus on medication as the primary treatment option and I've also witnessed the many harmful effects."

She wrote that having worked for over a decade in the world of mainstream medicine she possesses a strong understanding of both its strengths and weaknesses.

"As a mom who fiercely loves my son, I explored all available options, eventually finding better solutions than any conventional specialist had ever offered."
