Frances Tustin describes the life and clarifies the work of an outstanding clinician whose understanding of autistic and psychotic children has brilliantly illuminated the relationship between autism and psychosis for others in the field. Sheila Spensley defines Tustin's position in traditional and contemporary psychoanalytic theory and explains how it is related to work in infant psychiatry and developmental psychology. She makes Tustin's original concepts accessible to the non-specialist reader and shows how relevant they are to work in other areas such as learning disability and work with adult patients.

Review
`A challenging, thoughtful and thought-provoking study not only of Tustins life and work, but also of the expanding field of analytic inquiry devoted to the understanding of most primitive and disturbed states of mind. - British Journal of Psychotherapy
`... not only an accurate account of the development of Tustins clinical practice and theory, but a further elucidation of it an its place in psychoanalytic thinking. ... this book will be part of the ongoing evaluation and devleopment of Tustins ideas, and is a fitting tribute to her pioneering work. - Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
