[Manic autism].

Abstract

The sense of the word "autism" is unjustly used only by diseases of the group of the schizophrenias and the manic-depressive diseases. In fact, every form of psychic disturbance shows an autistic expression. In this work is shown the incapability of the manic to make an alliance of action, which is oriented on the expectations of the others. The impression "manic" is resulting of the behavior of the concerned person in a relationship between man, who let him look in the perspective of the others like unpredictable, maladjusted, from time to time without any distance and inconsiderate. He is projecting outside his own view of the world, of the other man and his relationship to them without compromise, incapable to change his behavior which is really a necessity of a stable and developable interaction. From the view of an interactional psychopathology the manic and depressive disturbance shows important communities. In both types of psychic abnormality you will see the "autism" as an essential characteristic. You can face to face the restrictive autism of the melancholic with the expansive autism of the manic.
