CRISTINA KUPFER, M.. Psychosis and autism: diagnostic problems. Estilos clin. [online]. 1999, vol.4, n.7, pp.96-107. ISSN 1415-7128.

In this article, it is discussed how a differential diagnosis of psychosis and autism should overcome the organogenic/ psychogenic dicotomy as well as introduce the incidence of the contemporary speech about autism and take into consideration the growth of autism into psychosis. This diagnosis will have clinical consequences as regards treatment, especially when it comes to parents' listening. It is believed that, for them, it will make a difference if a psychoanalyst opposes resistence to the objetification of the child and to the "deresponsibilization " of the motherly Other.
