Example text

Therefore, I often talk to parents of autistic children about a “kind of cerebral palsy of the brain’s emotional and interpersonal systems”, and the need for treatment to provide constructive emotional exercise for such children. Neural imaging studies in PTSD, showing atrophied areas of the emotion processing centers, suggest a similar analogy about therapeutic action is appropriate for the effects of RNT in promoting brain growth in such traumatically numbed children. The autobiographical account of a remarkable and severely autistic child who recovered is included in this book (chapter 4) giving me pause about settling for pessimism even in severe cases with mental retardation secondary to the autism—if vigorous treatment is given sufficiently early.

We literally counted rates of this highly damaging process: unplanned transfers (bouncing) of populations of children among foster homes. This highly quantifiable index was considered to be largely a measure of children’s behavioral enactments, which often provoke expulsions from a foster home struggling beyond its abilities to care for a traumatized child. It was used to report how many times for whatever reasons—children’s behavior or foster parent response—caused children to “bounce” around in the sense of an unplanned removal and transfer.

The process can be continued for as long as it helps, but a typical useful time is one or two school years. Groups of parents and children treated by RNT who started in preschool have continued to find the method positive and productive in after-school groups well beyond pre-school, (Zelman, 1996). Twenty years after the method’s invention and following initial publications about “Cornerstone treatment” (Kliman, 1968, 1970, 1975), Stanley Greenspan’s excellent DIR /Floortime method of bringing resistant children into affectionate emotional contact came along (Greenspan, 1992).
