We discuss methods that predict the dispersion (van der Waals) interaction between molecules by treating the intermolecular interaction as a perturbation. These methods include those that ignore exchange between electrons in the different interacting molecules (e.g. the polarization approximation leading to the Generalised Casimir Polder approach), and those that at least partially include it (Symmetry Adapted Perturbation Theory, SAPT).
