Synopsis
Contents
Contributing Authors

This clinical study by five analysts working with autistic children sheds new light on the primitive developmental phases of every human mind, with the emergence of concepts such as dismantling, adhesive identity, and dismantling as parameters of mental functioning.

Explorations in Autism is a turning-point in both the understanding of and the clinical approach to autism. The clinical material gradually unveils the geography of the internal mother (which proved crucial for the development of Meltzer’s ‘claustrum’ theory) and allowed him to draft, for the first time in psychoanalysis, a theory of the dimensionality of mental life
