Autism: An Integrated View from Neurocognitive, Clinical and Intervention Research
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Nov 2007, Pages: 352
Research on autism has flourished in the last 20 years, and a result of this growth is increased specialization within the neurocognitive, clinical and interventionist fields of inquiry. As specialities swell, however, research lines become isolated. This collection of research on autism spectrum disorders investigates a range of current thinking - from functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging studies to naturalistic intervention.
'Autism: An Integrated View' features contributions from scientific teams at the forefront of contemporary research on autism. These experts have concluded that an interdisciplinary approach is not only necessary to the understanding of this complex developmental disorder but is also an essential link in defining key issues found in other disciplines. The text includes helpful cross reference sections to connect chapter topics; its introductory and concluding chapters highlight major research themes while exploring broader issues on the integration of autism research. This comprehensive overview balances a wide scope of perspectives for scholars, practitioners, and students alike.
- Accessible to students, parents and practitioners, Autism provides an overview of high profile research
- Features contributions from teams at the forefront of research output in the UK, Europe and the United States
- Introductory and concluding chapters highlighting major research themes while exploring broader issues on the integration of autism research.
