The International Herald Tribune, the global edition of the New York Times, published an article on the film “The Wall” of Sophie Robert on the page 3 of its Jan 20th 2012 edition.
This article, written by David Jolly and Stephanie Novak, details the legal case and the risks faced by Sophie Robert.
It also addresses the question of mental health (and autism) in France.
Sophie Robert and the psychoanalysis historian Elisabeth Roudinesco are interviewed in this great piece.
Excerpt:
““Le Mur,” or “The Wall,” a small documentary film about autism released online last year, might normally not have attracted much attention. But an effort by French psychoanalysts to keep it from public eyes has helped to make it into a minor cause and shone a spotlight on the way children in France are treated for mental health problems.”
The paper edition in the IHT:
“Furor over treating autism in France”
The online global health edition of the NY Times:
“A French Film Takes Issue With the Psychoanalytic Approach to Autism”
