CALZETTA, Juan José  and  CERDA, María Rosa. Severe developmental disorders and the process of psychic constitution. Anu. investig. [online]. 2011, vol.18, pp.17-24. ISSN 1851-1686.

One of the objectives of this research is to explore the peculiarities in the structuring of the psychic apparatus, by means of the process of writing acquisition under specific conditions, in children and young people lacking or presenting a very limited oral language, echolalic or bizarre, inappropriate for communication, and do not use either signs or spontaneous handwriting. We show as an example, a summary of the progress in writing and its subsequent modification of the manifestations of psychic structuring, in an adolescent of sixteen years old lacking the oral language at the beginning of the treatment seven years ago. We discuss the validity of the theoretical models used as well as the possible contribution to understand the overall process of constitution, the regulatory principles, and the initial functioning of the psychic apparatus.

Keywords : Autism; Writing; Psychic apparatus; Theoretical models.
