The author studies the autistic mind through the concept of image. This concept is differentiated from the processes of representing (and mainly self-representation), figuration and communication. The author then discusses different aspects of the image: mental image, mirror image and physical image. Finally is discussed the narcissistic or objectal polarity of image production in the autistic child and the author argues that in these cases the transformation from the original to the primary level is essentially disturbed.
Work of collection of productions made in workshops of expression constitute a specific need for evaluation in art-therapy. The Mediatised Observation is completed by special validated (K-test) and built instruments of description for productions from each mediation (paintings, writings, music...) and for observed behaviours in situ during therapeutic work of creation. The two benefits are for nurses education, and for elaboration of a clinic of aesthetic.
