ill., ril. L'11 agosto 2014 Robin Williams, attore premio Oscar e comico di fama internazionale, si toglie la vita nella sua casa di Tiburon, in California. Il mondo è sotto shock, nessuno riesce a spiegarsi - tranne forse pochi intimi quali possano essere le cause di un gesto così estremo. Nei giorni successivi si scoprirà che Williams aveva a lungo combattuto una battaglia impari contro la depressione e le dipendenze. Chi lo ha conosciuto è rimasto folgorato dall'esuberanza incontenibile e dalla sensibilità di un uomo che è stato in grado di far ridere intere generazioni di spettatori. Un vero genio della risata, passato dagli spettacoli di cabaret ai red carpet e alle produzioni milionarie senza mai perdere la sua inesauribile vena comica; nel corso degli anni l'attore ha interpretato con successo numerosi ruoli, spaziando dalla commedia al genere drammatico. Per tutti Robin Williams è stato una presenza rassicurante, sempre generosa, capace di regalare un sorriso anche nei momenti di difficoltà e per questo motivo la sua scomparsa appare ancora più dolorosa e irreparabile. Dietro tanta ironia e tanta energia si nascondeva un uomo fragile e indifeso, inseguito da incubi e paure. Il volume di Emily Herbert celebra la vita e la carriera di un artista che ha fatto sorridere il mondo intero.

br. La sindrome di Williams è una sindrome genetica che conosce una diffusione relativamente rara. Nonostante la sua scarsa diffusione, essa rappresenta una delle sindromi più studiate a livello internazionale. I motivi della focalizzazione dell'interesse della comunità scientifica su di una sindrome relativamente rara sono rintracciabili nelle peculiarità del suo fenotipo cognitivo, caratterizzato da un profilo a "picchi e valli" che non è stato riscontrato in nessun'altra sindrome. Il profilo cognitivo è caratterizzato da competenze linguistiche avanzate in rapporto alla disabilità intellettiva e da deficit nella cognizione, associate a deficit nella cognizione visuospaziale e nella cognizione sociale. La presenza di capacità linguistiche sviluppate in presenza di disabilità intellettiva ha generato un animato dibattito sull'indipendenza o meno del linguaggio dalle altre funzioni cognitive, riconducibile alla controversia tra le ipotesi modulari e quelle connessioniste. Sono quindi comprensibili le motivazioni che hanno indotto linguisti, genetisti, e neuropsicologi allo studio approfondito della sindrome, generando una quantità rilevante di studi. Il presente volume intende fornire una introduzione agli aspetti cognitivi e psicopatologici correlati alla sindrome, fornendo indicazioni per il trattamento dei deficit sociali e comportamentali.
