          Abstract

          Resumen: El artículo plantea algunas reflexiones sobre el lugar del autismo en las diversas clasificaciones psiquiátricas y sobre ciertos posicionamientos que tratan de sacarlo de ellas por juzgarlas estigmatizadoras. Señala ciertas tendencias sociales e ideológicas que afectan a la psiquiatría y que influyen en la creación, supresión y modificaciones de sus diagnósticos, cuestionando su legitimidad para imponerlos. Describe, desde una perspectiva psicodinámica y estructural, aspectos de la psicopatología clínica y propone una comprensión integradora de la etiopatogenia del autismo y del denominado “neurodesarrollo”. Postula el valor epistemológico de una psicopatología psicodinámica para una clasificación de los funcionamientos autísticos que tenga en cuenta tanto su estructura psíquica como sus variantes clínicas, así como su utilidad para conducir a intervenciones psicoterapéuticas basadas en una comprensión que debe producirse en un marco relacional aceptado por los afectados y sus familiares. Debate sobre las características individuales y excepcionales de este tipo de tratamientos, y sobre las dificultades de poder evaluarlos conforme a las necesarias exigencias metodológicas actuales y las posibilidades de reproducirlos de manera uniforme y generalizada.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract: This article brings up some reflections on the place of autism in different psychiatric classifications and on some stances that intend to exclude it from them because it is considered stigmatizing. It points out some social and ideological tendencies that have an impact on psychiatry and influence in the creation, suppression, and modifications of its diagnoses, calling into question its legitimacy to impose them. It describes, from a psychodynamic and structural perspective, some aspects of clinical psychopathology and proposes an integrative understanding of the etiopathogeny of autism and the so-called “neurodevelopment”. It postulates the epistemological value of a psychodynamic psychopathology for a classification of autistic functioning that takes into consideration both its psychic structure and its clinical variants, as well as the usefulness to carry out psychotherapeutic interventions based on an understanding that must take place in a relational framework accepted by both the affected and their families. It discusses the individual and exceptional characteristics of these kinds of treatments, the difficulties to assess them according to the current methodological demands, and the possibilities to reproduce them in a uniform and generalized way.

          Epidemiology of pervasive developmental disorders.

          This article reviews the results of 43 studies published since 1966 that provided estimates for the prevalence of pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs), including autistic disorder, Asperger disorder, PDD not otherwise specified, and childhood disintegrative disorder. The prevalence of autistic disorder has increased in recent surveys and current estimates of prevalence are around 20/10,000, whereas the prevalence for PDD not otherwise specified is around 30/10,000 in recent surveys. Prevalence of Asperger disorder is much lower than that for autistic disorder and childhood disintegrative disorder is a very rare disorder with a prevalence of about 2/100,000. Combined all together, recent studies that have examined the whole spectrum of PDDs have consistently provided estimates in the 60-70/10,000 range, making PDD one of the most frequent childhood neurodevelopmental disorders. The meaning of the increase in prevalence in recent decades is reviewed. There is evidence that the broadening of the concept, the expansion of diagnostic criteria, the development of services, and improved awareness of the condition have played a major role in explaining this increase, although it cannot be ruled out that other factors might have also contributed to that trend.

              Biology and the future of psychoanalysis: a new intellectual framework for psychiatry revisited.

              The American Journal of Psychiatry has received a number of letters in response to my earlier "Framework" article (1). Some of these are reprinted elsewhere in this issue, and I have answered them briefly there. However, one issue raised by some letters deserves a more detailed answer, and that relates to whether biology is at all relevant to psychoanalysis. To my mind, this issue is so central to the future of psychoanalysis that it cannot be addressed with a brief comment. I therefore have written this article in an attempt to outline the importance of biology for the future of psychoanalysis.
