This robust reference work integrates the broad scholarly base of literature coupled with a trenchant analysis of the state of the field in nosology, etiology, assessment, and treatment. Its expert contributors examine findings and controversies (e.g., the actual prevalence of autism) as well as longstanding topics of interest as well as emerging issues from around the globe. In addition, the handbook describes multiple assessments, diagnoses, interventions and treatments for autism and PDD. It addresses such key topics as assessment of core symptoms and comorbidities, risk factors, epidemiology, diagnostic systems, neuroscience as well as issues regarding family adaptation. In addition, the handbook explores the rapidly evolving and expanding topics of medications,diets, fringe and harmful treatments, applied behavior analysis, and early intensive behavioral interventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey areas of coverage include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurvey of diagnostic criteria and assessment strategies for autism and pervasive developmental disorder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenetic, behavioral, biopsychosocial, and cognitive models of autism assessment and treatment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsychiatric disorders in individuals with ASD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheory of mind and facial recognition in persons with autism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiagnostic instruments for assessing core features and challenging behaviors in autism and PDD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvidence-based psychosocial, pharmacological, and integrative treatments for autism and other developmental disabilities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterventions specifically for adults with ASD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining issues for professionals, parents, and other caregivers of individuals with autism and developmental disabilities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReview of findings of successful and promising therapies coupled with guidance on how to distinguish between dubious and effective treatments for autism and PDD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe handbook is an indispensable resource for researchers, professors, graduate students as well as clinicians, therapists, and other practitioners in clinical child and school psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, social work, special education, behavioral rehabilitation, pediatric medicine, developmental psychology, and all allied disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-10-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: SA\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9783030885373\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030885373\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-88538-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 1609\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341335883916,"sku":"9783030885373","price":342.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030885373.jpg?v=1755042724","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030885373","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
