Bücher der Reihe Child Behavior and Development

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 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.

The death of a friend, a colleague, a relative, or a patient can be a devastating experience, particularly when that death is.
