Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 3rd Edition. Text in English. 278 pp. Since it was first described by Kanner in 1943, autism has been the focus of sustained interest from clinicians and researchers, although the precise neurobiological basis of the disorder has yet to be established. This volume reflects recent progress in the understanding of autism and related conditions with contributions from leading authorities in the clinical and social sciences, and offers an international perspective on current thinking. In common with earlier volumes in this influential series, it brings together developmental studies with the latest information on psychopathology and management. Chapters cover current approaches to definition and diagnosis, prevalence and planning for service delivery, cognitive, genetic and neurobiological features, and pathophysiological mechanisms Interventions reviewed include the pharmacological, behavioural and educational, and a thoughtful final chapter addresses the nature of the fundamental social disturbance that characterizes autism.

In describing areas of progress, and targets for future research, it carries an informed and hopeful message to those concerned with these perplexing conditions.…
