Sameness, immobility and omnipotent control in OCD and Autism
Francesco Bisagni
Center for the Studies in Contemporary Psychoanalyses - CSPC, Italy
A
im of this contribution is to highlight the obsessional features observed in an autistic child whom I treated analytically with four
weekly sessions for eighteen years, to relate them to the obsessional functioning in the family, particularly the mother, and to
discuss the severe obsessive-compulsive disorder in my patient’s younger brother, which became apparent in his late adolescence. This
boy is treated analytically by a colleague whom I regularly see in supervision. I will mainly focus on the obsessional features, about
language, and the issue of sameness in particular, and will consider the family and the brother as part of what I saw as a reticulum of
modes of functioning that all the group members shared.
