Denial and Defensiveness in the Place of Fact and Reason: Rejoinder to Smith and Lovass.

Gresham, Frank M.; MacMillan, Donald L.

Behavioral Disorders, v22 n4 p219-30 Aug 1997

Responds to "The UCLA Young Autism Project: A Reply to Gresham and MacMillan" (Smith and Lovaas), which criticized a review questioning the effectiveness of an intervention for children with autism. The Smith and Lovass article is described as defensive, factually inaccurate, and as not adequately addressing the question of external validity. (Author/CR)
