Teaching Children with Autism to Mind-Read

A Practical Guide for Teachers and Parents

Patricia Howlin | Simon Baron-Cohen | Julie A. Hadwin

Education / Special Education / Learning Disabilities

Das erste praxisorientierte Buch über die Anwendung der "Gedankentheorie" bei Kindern mit Autismus. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der wirkungsvollen Behandlung sozialer und kommunikativer Abnormitäten bei Kindern mit Autismus mit Hilfe der Gedankentheorie (auch als "Gedankenlesen" bezeichnet). Hier geht es um die Fähigkeit, den Gemütszustand (Gedanken, Einstellungen, Wünsche, Absichten etc.) anderer zu erfassen und die Fähigkeit, mit dieser Information zu ergründen, was sie sagen wollen, ihr Verhalten sinnvoll zu deuten und vorauszusagen, was sie als nächstes tun werden. Ein unverzichtbares Buch für alle, die in diesem Bereich arbeiten. (01/98)
