Elsevier, the information analytics company specialising in science and health, has announced the publication of a new book series, Critical Specialties in Treating Autism and Other Behavioral Challenges, edited by Jonathan Tarbox. The purpose of this series is to provide treatment manuals that address topics of high importance to practitioners working with individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other behavioral challenges. The volumes directly address clinical specialties that are both highly prevalent and also a major challenge requiring specialized training, offering useful information that clinicians can immediately put into practice. Elsevier also announced the availability of the first four books in the series, along with two additional autism titles.

Dr. Tarbox is Associate Editor of the journal Behavior Analysis in Practice and serves on the editorial boards of five major scientific journals related to autism and behaviour analysis. He has published three books on autism treatment and well over 70 peer-reviewed journal articles and chapters in scientific texts. His research focuses on behavioral interventions for teaching complex skills to individuals with autism, treatment of feeding disorders, and technology in autism treatment.

In order to meet content needs in psychology, Elsevier uses proprietary tools to identify the gaps in coverage of the topics. Editorial teams strategically fill those gaps with content written by key influencers in the field, giving students, faculty and researchers the content they need to answer challenging questions and improve outcomes. These books will educate the next generation of psychologists, and provide critical foundational content for information professionals, are key examples of how Elsevier is enabling science to drive innovation.
