Paul Cooper est un écrivain dont l'œuvre est profondément influencée par ses expériences d'exploration de ruines anciennes et modernes, en particulier au Sri Lanka. Sa prose se caractérise par un sens aigu du détail et un style contemplatif, invitant les lecteurs à réfléchir sur l'histoire, la mémoire et le passage du temps. Cooper mêle habilement les observations du monde physique à des perspectives introspectives, créant une tapisserie littéraire unique qui résonne avec un sens du lieu et des histoires humaines durables. Son écriture offre une profonde méditation sur les vestiges des civilisations et les échos qu'elles laissent derrière elles.

The contributors stress that EBDs are a form of communication, albeit an antagonistic one, and evaluate the success of different methods of intervention in clinical, educational and family settings. They argue that successful intervention requires an appreciation of the complex interplay in the social and personal factors affecting each child.
