The translation of the original title, which was published in 2017, seemed necessary because it already presented key concepts that were repeatedly referred to in other publications (see: b-j-schmidt.net). These concepts are primarily symbiotic narcissism, antagonistic symbiotic narcissism, the narcissism trap as a possible cause of rigidity in personality disorders and destructiveness as a symptom of narcissism.

If the first deviations from normal development occur in a child, be it language, motor skills or social interaction, parents and educators often wonder if this child may be autistic. Autism currently dominates not only research, but also the media. This, however, under a false understanding of autism as an incurable disease. However, the new social-psychological and developmentdynamic theory of autism makes it clear that autism is not a disease, but another form of being. And that autisti...

More and more teachers are confronted with autistic people as students. Next to the question "What is autism?" At school, the main task is to integrate the autistic students into the class community. Especially in the school environment, the benefits of a new social-psychological perspective become clear. With this perspective, not only the peculiarities of autistic people and the resulting difficulties, but also strengths and opportunities for promotion can be recognized. In a compact for...

If we want to keep reason, then we have to overcome belief in it. www.b-j-schmidt.net

Only through the perspective of clinical social psychology is it possible to perceive and analyze pathological group processes. With this new perspective, the "MSbP as a group phenomenon" in the field of autism is examined and presented as an example. By analyzing it becomes clear that - MSbP occurs much more frequently than previously assumed. - Pathological behavior can be publicly carried out within group structures and still remain undetected for decades. - the distribution of individu...

At least theoretically, narcissism can be viewed from three different perspectives, namely the 1st common individual perspective, 2nd social-psychological perspective, and the 3rd cultural-historical perspective, which is largely unfamiliar to us. But in order to fully understand narcissism, it is necessary to perceive all three perspectives in their interactions. The social-psychological perspective has already been discussed in detail in a previous book. In this book, the cultural-histor...

Talk to us – not about us! Do research with us – not about us! Plan with us – not over our heads! Even after 70 years Autism Research until now neither managed to explain the growing number of autism diagnoses, nor to understand the basics of autism. Thus, research not only stands in the way of help for autistic. Due to the violation of scientific rules it also prepares the ground for false and damaging theories. This book offers a new, critical and scientific point of view from the perspe...

About 50 years ago, existing scientific knowledge in the field of autism research was replaced by a dogma system. The essential means of the conversion was the unjustified accusation of "parent blaming". The book sheds light on the shift from science to dogma and the structure of dogma. www.b-j-schmidt.net

Why do autistics often have a low HRQL? And why do autistics have a high risk for the development of mental disorders, a high mortality and suicide risk? Why do autistics nonetheless rarely appear in psychotherapeutic practices? How and where can a psychotherapeutic intervention be scheduled? These questions are answered in the book by means of a new socio-psychological and developmental dynamic perspective.

Even early childhood autists can, contrary to popular belief, develop normally. They want and can communicate and interact, and just like all other children, they need social interaction for their development. If there is a disruption of social interaction, then there will be a disruption of development. How and why it can lead to disturbances of social interaction, and what consequences they have, is presented with a development-dynamic approach - so far denied autistic. At the same time,...

For over 50 years, a myth discredited both Bruno Bettelheim and a psychodynamic approach to autism. The myth of the "fridge mother" has left the soil of science and questioned the expertise of scientists for no reason at all. The consequences are and were 50 years of standstill in autism research, but also in the development of support programs for autistics. It's time to put an end to the "fridge mother" myth. www.b-j-schmidt.net

Parents and their Asperger children communicate differently. This easily leads to misunderstandings and difficulties. Autists talk plain text. This is also reflected in this book. In a compact way, a new perspective on the communication between parents and Asperger children is shown, in which it is especially clear that autism is not a developmental disorder. The other form of communication and interaction can lead to a developmental disorder - but it does not have to! Understanding this p...
