The definitive guide to autism and related conditions, with in-depth multidisciplinary coverage spanning clinical, developmental, biological, social, and public health perspectives

The Handbook of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders is the most influential reference work in the field of autism and related conditions. This Fifth Edition reflects updated diagnostic frameworks in the DSM-5 and ICD-11, as well as evolving societal perspectives on autism. Across two volumes, it addresses evolving and emerging topics such as gene–environment interactions, theoretical frameworks, developmental neurobiology, mental health care, clinical assessment, gender and minority issues, naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions, new learning technologies, economic aspects, and interactions with the law.

Inside Volume Two: Assessment, Interventions, and Policy, readers will find the most authoritative information on screening, assessment, interventions, services and supports, as well as cultural and policy ramifications. Volume One (available separately), covers diagnostic, developmental, and neurobiological aspects of autism, alongside its genetic, environmental, biochemical, social, medical and theoretical dimensions.

Students and practitioners in psychology, special education, and related fields will appreciate this thorough update for the authoritative guide to autism spectrum disorder. It is a must-read resource discussing scientifically validated approaches to understanding and supporting individuals on the autism spectrum.
