Het Boek Asperger`s Children - The Origins of Autism in Nazi Vienna (0393609642) geschreven door Edith Sheffer bestel je op bruna.nl! A ground-breaking exploration of the chilling history behind an increasingly common diagnosis. In 1930s and 1940s Vienna, child psychiatrist Hans Asperger sought to define autism as a diagnostic category, treating those children he deemed capable of participating fully in society. Depicted as compassionate and devoted, Asperger was in fact deeply influenced by Nazi psychiatry. Although he offered care to children he deemed promising, he prescribed harsh institutionalisation and even transfer to one of the Reich s killing centres, for children with greater disabilities.
