Asperger Syndrome and Psychotherapy: Understanding Asperger Perspectives by Paula Jacobsen

People with Asperger Syndrome (AS) understand and respond to the world in a very different way from people without this condition. The challenge for psychotherapists working with Asperger clients lies in setting aside their own preconceptions and learning to understand their client's perspective.

The problem I see with psychoanalysis is that the state defines what is "normal" or "typical" and thus diagnosis by design serves the interests of the state. It also gives a convenient platform or pedestal for class victimization, which definitely serves the interests of the state in dividing people into special interest groups that can be controlled rather than empowered.
