Since it was founded in 1920, the Tavistock Clinic has developed a
wide range of psychotherapeutic approaches to community
mental-health which have always been strongly influenced by
psychoanalysis. In the last thirty years it has also developed
systemic family therapy as a new theoretical model and clinical
approach to family problems. The Clinic has become the largest
training im3titUtion in Britain for work of this kind, providing
post-graduate and qualifying courses in social work, psychology,
psychiaay, child, adolescent and adult psychotherapy and, latterly,
in nursing. It trains about 1200 student each year in over 45
courses.
Frances Tustin (1913-1994) was one of the first professionally
trained child psychotherapists in Britain. Although internationally
recognised for her pioneering therapeutic work with autistic
children, her approach is considered by some to be controversial,
as her psychogenic view of childhood autism challenged the belief
that it is biological and genetic. Autistic States in Children is
widely regarded as a vitally important work for understanding the
causes of autism in young children. Vividly describing her clinical
encounters with autistic children, Tustin argued that autistic
states were above all self-protective ones. In her observational
studies, she noted how autistic children's interaction with
physical objects, such as keys, toy cars, or other play items, had
a rigid and ritualistic quality, far removed from the typical kind
of fantasy play seen in other children. Such objects are not used
by autistic children for their intended purpose, Tustin argued, but
rather in sensation-dominated ways that interfere with mental
development. She also drew a fundamental distinction between two
autistic groups: an 'encapsulated' group, which is withdrawn and
non-verbal, and an 'entangled' group, who are hyperactive and
chaotic but have some language. Autistic States in Children
influenced not only those in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis but
countless others who have contact with autistic children,
especially families, and remains essential reading for anyone
seeking a creative and compelling understanding of autism. This

This is the first book on the psychoanalytic treatment of children,
young people and adults with Asperger's syndrome. It includes
multi-disciplinary contributions on psychiatric perspectives and
psychological theories of the condition. There is an overview of
relevant psychoanalytic theory, and chapters on Asperger's original
paper, on first-per
This volume is an outcome of the European Federation for
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy conference on psychotic and autistic
conditions in childhood and adolescence, encouraging the
cross-fertilization of psychoanalytic practice and theory across
the international boundaries in Europe.

The chapters of this book, all written by experienced
psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapists, address different
aspects of the psychotherapeutic treatment with psychotic children
or adolescents. This volume collects the main contributions to the
fourth conference of the child and adolescent section of the EFPP,
held in Caen, France in September 2001, on the general topic of
"Psychotic Children and Adolescents and their Families."Anne
Alvarez's contribution reflects her long experience in treating
autistic and psychotic children and adolescents, as well as her
profound understanding of the relevance of recent developmental
research to the understanding of psychopathology. Britta Blomberg
draws on the treatment of two children with autism in her
meticulous study of the development of the concepts of space and
time and of the theory of mind. Julia Pestalozzi refers to the idea
of psychotic functioning in adolescence--as proposed by Moses and
Egle Laufer--that adolescents in a state of "psychotic functioning"
have their body image profoundly split between the pregenital body
image of childhood and the sexual body image of adolescence. In his
contribution, Didier Houzel describes a very early splitting in
autistic children between the male and female components of the
containing object, which prevents the transformation of his/her
sensory experiences into thinkable elements and, therefore, the
construction of an inner world. Suzanne Maiello discusses Houzel's
contribution in reference to her description of the prenatal
experience of a sound object by the fetus. The volume ends with two
"conversations" with senior clinicians. The work of both Genevieve
Haag and Raymond Cahn is not widely translated into English. The
publication of this volume is therefore a welcome opportunity to
present aspects of their work to an English-speaking
audience.Contributors: Anne Alvarez, Britta Blomberg, Raymond Cahn,
Genevieve Haag, Didier Houzel, Suzanne Maiello, Julia Pestalozzi,
and Maria Rhode"
This pioneering book is a multidisciplinary collection of papers
from psychiatrists, psychologists and child psychotherapists that
aims to address the issue of variation within the diagnostic
category of Asperger s Syndrome. Until now, books on the subject
have been written from an organicist/cognitive viewpoint with few
papers from a psychoanalytically informed basis, despite an
increasing number of child psychotherapists treating children and
adolescents with the syndrome. Children diagnosed with Asperger s
Syndrome share core anxieties but present a wide spectrum of
strikingly different character traits and coping devices. There
exists considerable overlap with other conditions such as Attention
Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder, Borderline Personality, Schizoid
Personality Disorder and psychopathy.The collection boasts a new
translation of Asperger s original paper and a historical review of
the changing psychiatric perspectives on Asperger s Syndrome,
including recollections from Lionel Hersov, a personal acquaintance
of Asperger. A child psychotherapist provides a commentary on
Asperger s paper from the perspective of recent developments in the
psychoanalytic treatment of children with autistic spectrum
disorders. Cognitive approaches are reviewed and compared and
contrasted to psychoanalytic theory. Two first-person accounts are
included and studied as to how they link with and differ to
psychoanalytic theory and the case study of a 10-year-old boy is
discussed in relation to various diagnostic criteria.This
groundbreaking book will be of interest to mental health
professionals, teachers and all those concerned with Asperger s
Syndrome.Contributors include Anne Alvarez, Lionel Hersov, Sally
Hodges, Trudy Klauber, Maria Rhode, Judy Shuttleworth, David
Simpson."
Short-term Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (STPP) is a manualised,
time-limited model of psychoanalytic psychotherapy comprising
twenty-eight weekly sessions for the adolescent patient and seven
sessions for parents or carers, designed so that it can be
delivered within a public mental health system, such as Child and
Adolescent Mental Health Services in the UK. It has its origins in
psychoanalytic theoretical principles, clinical experience, and
empirical research suggesting that psychoanalytic treatment of this
duration can be effective for a range of disorders, including
depression, in children and young people. The manual explicitly
focuses on the treatment of moderate to severe depression, both by
detailing the psychoanalytic understanding of depression in young
people and through careful consideration of clinical work with this
group. It is the first treatment manual to describe psychoanalytic
psychotherapy for adolescents with depression. The treatment
approach described in this manual has been used in a multi-site
randomised controlled trial in the UK, 'Improving Mood with
Psychoanalytic and Cognitive Therapies' (IMPACT) and
internationally. It is presented here as a treatment to be used in
routine clinical practice and will be of interest to child
psychotherapists, multi-disciplinary professionals in young
peopleaEURO (TM)s mental health, service providers, and researchers
alike. After describing theoretical models of depression and
presenting an overview of STPP as a treatment model, the manual
details the specific stages of the STPP process for the therapist
and adolescent patient. It then describes the nature and scope of
parallel work with parents and gives a detailed account of the
function of supervision.
This volume ofPsychoanalysis and Psychotherapy in China continues
the tradition we began last year of featuring cultural issues that
confront analysts and therapists as they apply psychoanalytic
thinking to their work with Chinese patients and students. Therapy
and work with institutions is embedded in the civilization in which
we work, so the issues facing China and its people confront us
every day that we conduct therapy,consultation, and training there.
