Revisiting the history of autism before Kanner and Asperger: a tribute to Grunya Sukhareva
Revisitando a história do autismo antes de Kanner e Asperger: um tributo a Grunya Sukhareva
Abstract
Almost two decades before Kanner's and Asperger's works, the original paper by child psychiatrist Grunya Efimovna Sukhareva had already been written. It was published in 1926 by Sukhareva in a German scientific journal of psychiatry and neurology, with a detailed description of children who presented clinical conditions whose characteristics and evolution closely resemble autism, according to current criteria. In the present historical note, we intend to present Sukhareva's pioneering work and retrieve the meaning of her original contribution.
Resumo
Quase duas décadas antes dos trabalhos de Kanner e Asperger, o artigo original da psiquiatra infantil Grunya Efimovna Sukhareva já havia sido escrito. Foi publicado por Sukhareva em 1926, em uma revista científica alemã de psiquiatria e neurologia, com uma descrição detalhada de crianças que apresentavam quadro clínico cujas características e evolução em muito se assemelham ao autismo, segundo os critérios atuais. Nesta nota histórica, pretende-se apresentar o trabalho pioneiro de Sukhareva e resgatar o significado da sua contribuição original.
