Sommario/riassunto

"The current environment of zero-cost money, concentrated bank power, and anaemic   productive growth has coalesced not by accident or economic cycle but by wilful choice.  Das   warns that without significant change, the only possible future holds dire consequences for all   but an elite few. His tone is as urgent as the problem. All central bankers, politicians, and   citizens should heed his words."   Nomi Prins, author of Other People's Money and All the Presidents' Bankers     "Written with passion and insight, and laden with facts, the book provides a clear explanation   of the economic, social, and political issues that lie ahead, and the difficulty in solving   them."  Jon Markman, Forbes columnist and president and publisher of Markman Capital Insight     A Banquet of Consequences is an intricately researched, decisively written and devastating   analysis of today's economy. Satyajit Das connects disparate strands of a story, and in doing   so delivers a damning critique of global economic policies of the last 50 years. He argues that   governments and citizens of every political hue are now so addicted to growth and resistant to   change, that a prolonged period of chronic stagnation, sustained by large infusions of   monetary morphine and continuous interventions, or an unavoidable financial, political and   social breakdown are the only possible outcomes.

Sommario/riassunto

The research on children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is extensive and growing. Although these conditions are recognized as affecting the entire lifespan, the literature on ASD after childhood is limited and has not been brought together in a single volume in over a decade. Adolescents and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders fills this knowledge gap by focusing on needs and difficulties unique to these stages of development. Expert contributors offer cogent reviews of complex issues, from education to employment, leisure activities to illegal behaviors, mental health issues to medical health concerns. The latest findings in key areas, such as psychosocial and residential treatments, social skills programs, epidemiology, the impact of ASD on families, are examined in detail. Throughout the volume, coverage focuses on areas requiring improved models of assessment, updated data, new interventions, and increased support services. Featured topics include: Transition from high school to adulthood for adolescents and young adults with ASD. Innovative programming to support college students with ASD. Romantic relationships, sexuality, and ASD. Treatment of mental health comorbidities. Assessment and treatment planning in adults with ASD. The range of outcomes and challenges in middle and later life. Adolescents and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders is a must-have reference for a wide range of clinicians and practitioners – as well as researchers and graduate students – in clinical child, school, and developmental psychology; child and adolescent psychiatry; social work; rehabilitation medicine/therapy; education; and general practice/family medicine. It will also serve as an important resource for parents and caregivers with its focus on translating the current state of knowledge relevant to understanding adolescents and adultswith ASD into practical and relevant recommendations on how best to support them. .
