Description
Psychoanalytic Work with Autistic Features in Adults explores the challenges of working with adults who have experienced autistic residuals from early life. Laura Tremelloni identifies key diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties, highlighting the need for tailored treatment plans. Clinical cases are used to examine the complexities of working with hard-to-reach adults, who may struggle with a sense of self and primitive experiences of "non-being". The book presents new approaches to overcome these obstacles, focusing on adapting classic psychoanalytic techniques to address fragmented aspects of the self. This book is essential reading for clinicians in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy seeking to effectively engage with patients presenting unique challenges.
