With the recognition of autism as an "official" diagnosis and the awareness of the importance of
structured teaching, the outcome of autism began to improve. This positive change reflects both
increased awareness, early diagnosis, and provision of effective intervention-based treatments. In this
presentation, we will discuss aspects of the current state of outcomes in autism spectrum disorder
today, cover some of the challenges for case detection and service provision, and review the best
practices for assessment/available treatment literature.
Dr. Fred R. Volkmar is the Irving B. Harris Professor of Child Psychiatry,
Pediatrics, and Psychology at the Yale Child Study Center, Yale University School
of Medicine and the Dorothy Goodwin Family Chair of Special Education at
Southern Connecticut State University. An international authority on Asperger’s
disorder and autism, Dr. Volkmar has authored several hundred scientific papers
and has co-edited numerous books.

Speaker: Dr. Susan Lazar
Recording of live event will be distributed to registrants after the event and available for 14 days.
Psychodynamic therapy, including psychoanalysis, is often undervalued by policy makers. Data
substantiating its efficacy, effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and frequent cost-offsets are all too often
ignored or dismissed along with the sequelae if it is unavailable to those who most benefit from it.
Despite pressures for non-medical practitioners to be the sole providers of psychotherapy, there is a
crucial place for psychiatrists to be not merely diagnosticians but also the only psychotherapists who
have the training to make a fuller ongoing differential diagnosis of medical contributors to their
patients’ mental illness.
Dr. Susan G. Lazar has presented and published widely on the cost-effectiveness
of psychotherapy, including the special place for psychodynamic therapy, in
book chapters and articles. Dr. Lazar served as a consultant to The Mental
Health Work Group of The White House Task Force for Health Care Reform in
the Clinton administration. She is a Supervising and Training Analyst at The
Washington Baltimore Psychoanalytic Society, a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry
at The George Washington University School of Medicine and Distinguished Life
Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association.
