Autistic pathology

This book, based on a number of clinical cases encountered in practice, provides a critical overview of the theories used in the field of autism, their operational applications and the effects on the psyche of patients with this disorder. For many parents, this disconcerting condition is a frustrating enigma, and it is difficult to select the right practices and isolate the right approach. Far from providing an absolute solution, the author offers a number of avenues of understanding based on the scientific advances of recent decades, to provide practitioners and parents with a coherent and well-thought-out basis for reflection, so that they are less disconcerted by autistic pathology.
