This is the first book on the psychoanalytic treatment of children,

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

This book provides the history, theory, and practice of work
discussion as developed at the Tavistock Clinic. It describes the
evolution and contemporary practice of work discussion in relation
to a wide range of professional work with children, adolescents,
and families.
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."
