Frances Tustin Today explores some of the ways and means by which
Tustin's work has enabled psychoanalytic clinicians to enter into
the elemental domain of sensation: what Bion called the
'proto-mental' area of the psyche-soma. Through detailed clinical
contributions of several of her exponents worldwide, this book
demonstrates how her ideas -- rooted in decades of work with
children on the autistic spectrum -- have influenced and are being
expanded, extended and applied to the treatment of ordinary
patients from early childhood through adulthood. The contributors
to this volume represent a selection of the contemporary thinking
that organically grew out of Tustin's discoveries, and show that
Tustin's model has added new dimensions to the fields of infant
observation, family therapy and neuro-psychology. Each chapter is
augmented by demonstrable clinical experience. Frances Tustin Today
is a valuable resource for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists,
educators and parents who are interested in learning more about
this uniquely independent clinical observer's findings and their
impact upon the treatment of autistic states in children,
adolescents and adults by contemporary workers in the field of
mental health. Judith L. Mitrani, and Theodore Mitrani, are Fellows
of The International Psycho-Analytical Association, Training and
Supervising Psychoanalysts at The Psychoanalytic Center of
California in Los Angeles. They are founding members of the Board
of Trustees of The Frances Tustin Memorial Trust, and authors,
editors, translators and teachers in the private practice of
psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic therapy with Adults and Children
in Los Angeles, California.
