A seminal work by Bruno Bettelheim and Daniel Karlin that explores a more humanistic and empathetic approach to understanding mental illness and autism. Published in 1981, it challenges traditional clinical views by focusing on the patient's inner world and the therapeutic environment.
Bruno Bettelheim was an Austrian-born American psychologist, scholar, public intellectual and writer who spent most of his academic and clinical career in the United States. An early writer on autism, Bettelheim's work focused on the education of emotionally disturbed children, as well as Freudian psychology more generally. In the U.S., he later gained a position as professor at the University of Chicago and director of the Sonia Shankman Orthogenic School for Disturbed Children, and after 1973 taught at Stanford University.
