Title: Historical interest
Product review: Readers should note the 1972 publication date and be aware that this item is primarily of historical interest for students of changing concepts of mental illness. The book is not a useful contribution to modern studies of pervasive developmental disorders, as it was written before genetic factors were strongly suspected and before early detection of autism was considered possible. It should be noted that the Tinbergens, in their later volume on this subject, acknowledged that the ethological approach to treatment of autism was quite speculative.
