Bücher von Frances Tustin

This revised edition of Tustin's classic text of the same name encorporates the author's new thinking about autism based on recent infant' observational studies and her own clinical experience.

This book does not propose a 'cure' for autism. Rather, it suggests that psychotherapeutic treatment which is based on a deep understanding of the function of autism can modify and heal the overwhelming need for this powerful inbuilt survival reaction, so that it is used appropriately in a less overall and crippling way.
