Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Taking a psychoanalytic and developmental approach, Autism and Personality outlines the new developments in therapeutic techniques used by the Tavistock Autism Team and Workshop in London to treat autistic children. It also underlines the importance of support for parents and siblings, who are all too often ignored as a factor in the child's progress.
The contributors present fresh ideas about the importance of personality in the development of the condition, and the implications of psychotherapeutic technique. Using vignettes to illustrate theoretical ideas, coupled with vivid case studies highlighting the patient's changing contact with the therapist, the book gives a fascinating picture of the individuality of each child and of the sensitivity and skill required for each treatment. Accessible to both parents and professionals, Autism and Personality provides valuable insight into the nature and course of autism and its treatment.
