患有发育和自闭症谱系障碍的青少年的社交技能： PEERS 治疗手册
这本书是任何与患有自闭症谱系障碍的青少年一起工作的临床医生或研究人员的必备读物。这种由父母协助的青少年干预是基于加州大学洛杉矶分校塞梅尔神经科学和人类行为研究所为期 14 周的全面、循证计划、流行的加州大学洛杉矶分校 PEERS 计划的手册化以及儿童友谊培训（Routledge，2002 年）儿童手册的成功。
在回顾了旨在帮助父母和治疗师根据与他们一起工作的青少年的需求定制手册的技术之后，本文继续讨论个人治疗课程和解决问题的策略，例如发展对话技巧、选择朋友、使用幽默、聚会、取笑、欺凌、八卦和处理分歧。每节课的章节都包括讲义、家庭作业、对期望的描述（以及如何应对提供干预的挑战），以及为父母和治疗师定制的技巧。

This book is essential reading for any clinician or researcher working with teens with autism spectrum disorders. This parent-assisted intervention for teens is based on a comprehensive, evidence-based, 14-week program at UCLA’s Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior, the manualization of the popular UCLA PEERS Program, and the success of the Children’s Friendship Training (Routledge, 2002) manual for children.
After reviewing techniques designed to help parents and therapists tailor the manual to the needs of the teens with whom they are working, the text moves on to the individual treatment sessions and strategies for tackling issues such as developing conversational skills, choosing friends, using humor, get-togethers, teasing, bullying, gossiping, and handling disagreements. Each session chapter includes handouts, homework assignments, descriptions of what to expect (and how to handle challenges in delivering the intervention), and customized tips for both parents and therapists.
