This book presents a theory of autistic subjectivity from a
Lacanian psychoanalytic perspective. Dr. Brenner describes autism
as a singular mode of being that is fundamentally linked to one's
identity and basic practices of existence, offering a rigorous
alternative to treating autism as a mental or physical disorder.
Drawing on Freud and Lacan's psychoanalytic understanding of the
subject, Brenner outlines the unique features of the autistic
subjective structure and provides a comprehensive synthesis of
contemporary work on the psychoanalysis of autism. The book
examines research by theorists including Jean-Claude Maleval, Eric
Laurent, Rosine and Robert Lefort that has been largely unavailable
to Anglophone audiences until now. In this book autism is posited
to be a singular subjective structure not reducible to neurosis or
psychosis. In accordance with the Lacanian approach, autism is
examined with detailed attention to the subject's use of language,
culminating in Brenner's "autistic linguistic spectrum." A
compelling read for students and scholars of psychoanalysis and
autism researchers and clinicians.
