Autism | 1960s Assessment and Treatment.

Film shows an example of what was once called symbiotic psychosis, and falls under the ASD umbrella today. In this film we see a Freudian approach to the condition, with mention of Mike's "orally destructive impulses" and a treatment goal of "ego differentiation". 1960s were the time of divergence from the psychoanalytic theories that characterized the prior 80 years.
