Perpetual Children

The Politics of Autism in France Since 1950

Beschreibung

Perpetual Children tells the story of how attitudes toward and treatment of autism in France diverged from those of other countries based on the persistence of psychoanalysis in French psychology, which led to conflict between psychology professionals and parents' groups over the proper treatment of autists. The activism of parents' groups and the scholarship of psychoanalysts initiated political and legal changes.
