Topic: Bruno Bettelheim

Although your text only briefly touches upon it, Bettelheim is often viewed as one of the major proponents of the “refrigerator mother” theory of autism. Do you believe that Bettelheim’s view has any validity? Why or why not? Are there are points he makes regarding problematic attachment in autistic individuals that could be helpful to a therapist?
