Bruno Bettelheim

Biografia Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial quando os alemães ocuparam a Áustria ele foi deportado junto com outros judeus austríacos para o campo de concentração de Dachau e, mais tarde, para Buchenwald. Aí pôde observar os comportamentos humanos quando o indivíduo é sujeito a condições extremas, percepcionadas como radicalmente destrutivas (desumanização), que estiveram mais tarde na base das suas teorias sobre a origem do autismo. Graças a uma amnistia em 1939, Bettelheim e centenas de outros prisioneiros foram libertados, o que lhe salvou a vida. Emigrou então rumo aos Estados Unidos, onde foi professor de psicologia em universidades americanas e dirigiu o Instituto Sonia-Shankman em Chicago para crianças psicóticas, destacando-se o seu trabalho com crianças autistas. Cometeu suicídio em 1990. Bettelheim é reconhecido como um prestigiado psicólogo na área da psicologia infantil.
