Autism Spectrum Disorder: Perspectives from Psychoanalysis is
written by practicing child psychoanalysts with extensive
experience treating children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD)
and uneven development. The authors bridge the gap between a
psychodynamic approach to ASD and burgeoning data from the fields
of neurobiology and neurofunction. Based on current research
showing neuroplasticity of the brain, the authors posit that
treating ASD through intensive engagement of caregiver and child
makes possible the successful psychoanalytic treatment of a
neurobiological disorder. To this end, the authors examine both the
clinical dynamics of their treatments and the possible impact of
the treatment on neurobiological processes. Detailed case studies
of children treated by the authors comprise the heart of the book.
The cases emphasize the importance of engaging these young children
intensively with the social world, first of their caregivers and
then their peers, while also helping child and caregiver make sense
of the child's "nonsense" behavior through insight into their inner
worlds. The authors explain how and why such treatment works
through examining the processes by which infant and caregiver learn
to know each other and how a baby comes to know the world. This
approach emphasizes the intimate connection between infant and
caregiver in forming the emotional, cognitive, attentional, and
interpersonal experiences that give a child the ability to make
meaning and grow. In addition, this volume presents a selective
summary of the neurobiological research in the area of ASD to
provide the reader with the related neurobiological and
psychological factors. This underscores the thesis that ASD is a
potentially reversible neurodevelopmental disorder with
experiential and psychological consequences, and lays groundwork
for an integrated treatment approach with psychoanalysis at its
core.
