This book has a companion volume: Research and Innovation on the Road to Modern Child Psychiatry. Volume 2: Classic Papers by Professor Sir Michael Rutter.This volume marks the occasion of Sir Michael Rutter's formal retirement from the Institute of Psychiatry in London, by producing the contents of two Festschrift meetings, one hosted by the Association of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, the other by the Child and Adolescent Faculty of the Royal College of Psychiatrists in the UK.In these meetings key collaborators and research leaders, representing all areas of Michael Rutter's work, provide tributes and reviews of the current state of the art in their field. The volume also includes two keynote presentations from Michael Rutter himself delivered during these meetings, one covering his ground-breaking work in the field of autism over four decades, the other reviewing progress in the field of psychosocial influences on child mental health. In addition, there is a personal appreciation by a close professional colleague and friend, Anne LeCouteur.This volume will be of interest to child and adolescent psychiatrists, academic psychologists, developmental psychologists, social workers, and workers in specialist education, academic nursing, adult psychiatry, neurological medical specialities and other professional groups involved in child and adolescent mental health.
