This is a very good resource.

This is the best summary I've seen of the types of underachievement syndromes. The book is well organized, clearly written, and without excess verbiage. The author provides a clear discussion of the features of the syndromes, the underlying causes, and some therapy remarks as well, with references for further reading. This is an excellent starting place for someone trying to understand their underachieving child.
