{"product_id":"the-autistic-subject-leon-s-brenner-9783030507145","title":"The Autistic Subject: On the Threshold of Language","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book presents a theory of autistic subjectivity from a Lacanian psychoanalytic perspective. Dr. Brenner describes autism as a singular \u003ci\u003emode of being\u003c\/i\u003e that is fundamentally linked to one's identity and basic practices of existence, offering a rigorous alternative to treating autism as a mental or physical disorder. Drawing on Freud and Lacan's psychoanalytic understanding of the \u003ci\u003esubject\u003c\/i\u003e, Brenner outlines the unique features of the autistic subjective structure and provides a comprehensive synthesis of contemporary work on the psychoanalysis of autism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book examines research by theorists including Jean-Claude Maleval, ﾉric Laurent, Rosine and Robert Lefort that has been largely unavailable to Anglophone audiences until now. In this book autism is posited to be a \u003ci\u003esingular subjective structure\u003c\/i\u003e not reducible to neurosis or psychosis. In accordance with the Lacanian approach, autism is examined with detailed attention to the subject's use of language, culminating in Brenner's \"\u003ci\u003eautistic linguistic spectrum\u003c\/i\u003e.\" A compelling read for students and scholars of psychoanalysis and autism researchers and clinicians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leon S.
