Editorial Reviews

Review

...exciting and challenging book... there is much to learn from this book for clinical practice and I recommend it wholeheartedly. - Midland Journal of Psychotherapy

...for anyone also working with distressed, depressed, depleted, or psychically arrested adult patients, the relevance and inspiration of this book will be immediately apparent. - British Journal of Psychotherapy

...painful, yet positive text... I hope that many readers will take their time over the reading of it: their patience will be well rewarded. - Nursing Times

A beautifully written, carefully documented exposition of thirty years intensive psychoanalytic work... a book which child and adult psychoanalysts will treasure. - The Journal of Child Psychotherapy

I cannot imagine a psychoanalytic psychotherapist who will not enjoy and value it. It has led me to some changes in the way I work, and it has explained some of the ways I had found I was working. - Anne Henry, Journal of the British Association of Psychotherapists

I think this is a deeply moving and wise book in a realm where it is so difficult to be sure of anything. - Oliver Sacks

5.0 out of 5 stars inspiring creative book on child psychotherapy, May 22, 1999
this book is not about autism but about being human as a therapist and the humanity of very disturbed children..it is about how the author learned over time that the kind of psychoanalytic therapy she had originally tried with an autistic boy was not helpful - and how what she learned from that changed her ways of working with all sorts of disturbed children. Alvarez is a remarkably creative and honest clinican and a wonderful writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am autistic, March 30, 2004
By A Customer
This book is about the bravest modern work on the subject I have seen. It takes real courage to stand up against the organized scorn of angry mothers of autistic children. Those women will want to kill you if you suggest that autism might be triggered by mistakes in child rearing, and might therefore be curable--or at least alleviated--through psychotherapy. Like it or not, this is what Alvarez is implying. Some reviewers think Temple Grandin is Brave??? What a joke.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you want to know what autism is like - don't read this!, September 29, 1997
By A Customer
One study of different methods of treatment and education for children with autism established that they did worse in psychoanalysis than in any other form of treatment. High-functioning people with autism are usually provoked to laughter or fury by reading psychoanalytic "interpretations" of their behaviour. Anyone genuinely interested in understanding autism should read one of the excellent first-person accounts written by brave and brilliant individuals such as Temple Grandin.
