Descripción
Sumario:This article aims to highlight the transposition, within the scope of Brazilian public policies, of the existing epistemic tension between the re-educational and psychodynamic proposals for the treatment of autism, identifying Psychoanalysis in the latter category and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy among the former. Thus, some Brazilian norms that rule the inclusion of people with autism in public policies are briefly presented here. It focus on the content of the two guiding documents for the treatment of autism in the Unified National Health System (SUS), issued by the Ministry of Health in 2013, which makes it possible to explain the perspective of psychoanalysis in relation to the proposed policies. The shift of epistemic tension to the political context, with the consequent legal claim forbidding the psychoanalysis to assist people with autism, is cleared up by some recent historical facts, taking place either in France or in Brazil. The methodology applied was the literature review.
