ABSTRACT A novel psychoanalytic intervention with young children on the autistic spectrum is presented, addressing the family as a whole and focusing on the relationships between the family members. The intervention is based on the philosophy of the Tavistock Clinic’s ‘Under Fives Counselling Service’, taking into account the principles of psychoanalytic observation as introduced by Esther Bick, and the tenets which Didier Houzel put forward regarding the work with parents of autistic children. In the paper, the therapeutic journey of young Jason and his family is depicted. The therapists’ primary objective was to establish a cohesive narrative of the story of the family as a whole, and of each member separately. This effort implied, first of all, that their story would become an object of thought. Based on the clinical material presented, it is argued that this type of psychoanalytic intervention offered the family the necessary psychic space to process their fragmented story, to contain life-threatening anxieties and to gradually change their way of functioning and relating to one another.
