This volume aims to provide the reader with an up-to-date account
of knowledge, research, education, and clinical practice in the
field of au tism, from an international perspective. The emphasis
throughout is on the growing points of knowledge and on the new
developments in prac tice. We have tried to keep a balance between
the need for rigorous research and systematic evaluation and the
importance of expressing new ideas and concepts so that they may
influence thinking at a stage when questions are being formulated
and fresh approaches to treatment are being developed. The book had
its origins in the 1976 International Symposium on Autism held in
St. Gallen, Switzerland but it is not in any sense a proceed ings
of that meeting. Most papers have been extensively rewritten to
provide a fuller coverage of the topic and also to take account of
the issues raised at the meeting. Discussion dialogues have been
revised and re structured to stand as self-contained chapters. Many
significant contribu tions to the conference have not been induded
in order to maintain the balance of a definitive review; however a
few extra chapters have been added to fill crucial gaps 0 We hope
the result is a vivid picture ofthe current state of the art. As
editors we have been most impressed by the advances since the 1970
international conference in London."
