Since the early 1940s, when first identified as childhood psychosis
and autistic psychopathy, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has
continued to burgeon into a major focus of inquiry and interest
among researchers, practitioners, and the public alike. With each
passing decade, the number of scholarly articles addressing ASD and
related disabilities continues to soar. Today, thousands of papers
on autism are published annually across various disciplines and
journals, making it challenging - if not impossible - to keep pace
with, let alone synthesize, all the latest developments. Based on a
solid historical foundation of autism theory and research, the
International Handbook of Autism and Pervasive Developmental
Disorders integrates the broad scholarly base of literature with a
trenchant analysis of the state of the field in nosology, etiology,
assessment, and treatment. Its expert contributors examine recent
findings and controversies (e.g., how prevalent autism actually
is), along with longstanding topics of interest as well as emerging
issues. Coverage includes: A survey of diagnostic criteria and
assessment strategies. Genetic, behavioral, biopsychosocial, and
cognitive models. Psychiatric disorders in persons with ASD. Theory
of mind and facial recognition. Diagnostic instruments for
assessing core features and challenging behaviors. Evidence-based
psychosocial, pharmacological, and integrative treatments.
Interventions specifically for adults with ASD. Training issues for
professionals and parents. A review of findings of successful and
promising therapies, coupled with guidance on how to distinguish
between dubious and effective treatments. The International
Handbook of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders is an
indispensable resource for researchers, professors, graduate
students, and allied practitioners in clinical child and school
psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, education, social
work, rehabilitation, pediatric medicine, and developmental
psychology.
