This book contains observations derived from a four year study of an autistic child, illustrating through observation and the expressive channels of art the symptoms and signs of psychopathology. The goal is to better understand the biosocial nature of autism and through the use of figure drawings, explicate the autistic process. The discussion is unique in that it places an ideographic case history in an incisive theoretical setting. In so doing it breaks new ground, inviting further work along the same lines from other scientists in the field. Contents: Infantile Autism; Case Study of a Young Child; Affect and Autism; Overall Reflections; and Case Studies of Two Adolescents. Includes 54 illustrations.
