Children whose minds as well as bodies have been damaged by the
intrusions of sexual abuse, violence or neglect, and others, quite
different, who are handicapped by their own mysterious
sensitivities to more minor deprivations, may experience a type of
black despair and cynicism that require long-term treatment and
test the stamina of the psychotherapist to the utmost. In Live
Company, Anne Alvarez reflects on thirty years' experience of
treating autistic, psychotic and borderline children and
adolescents by the methods of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Central
to the book is the moving story on an autistic child's long
struggle between sanity and madness, in which the author describes
the arduous journey that she as therapist and he as patient made
towards new understanding and his partial recovery. Modern
developments in psychoanalytic theory and technique mean that such
children can be treated with some success. In the book the author
discusses these developments, and also describes some of the areas
of convergence and divergence between organicist and
psychodynamicist theories of autism. Particularly important is her
integration of psychoanalytic theory with the new findings in
infant development and infant psychiatry. This has enabled her to
formulate some new and exciting ideas and speculate on the need for
some additions to established theory. Anne Alvarez has produced a
professionally powerful and englightening book, drawn from her
extensive experience as a child psychotherapist at the Tavistock
Clinic, which will be of interest to all professionals involved
with children and adolescents as well as anyone interested in
madness and the growth of the mind.
