Abstract
The contemporary extension of the diagnosis of autism poses a certain number of
problems. We will examine the effects which arise from this on the basis of a clinical case.
Psychoanalytic training, beyond the divisions existing between different schools and
orientations, has a tripartile basis: personal analysis, supervision, theoretical teaching. But
despite this apparent consensus, how, from our perspective, can we understand the
specificity of this training, each element of which is necessary but not sufficient?

The registration fee is €30. Student fee is €20.
