On Neurodiversity: Theoretical And Clinical Aspects
Individuals with neurodiversity have been present in our practices for many years, often unrecognised for the issues they bring into analysis. This weekend’s seminars will examine the predispositions, dynamics, essential elements, and hierarchy of needs when working with neurodiverse individuals. The sessions will provide an in- depth, Jungian-focused exploration of ADHD, autism, and dyslexia. There will be discussions on the psychological and philosophical aspects of diagnoses as well as an exploration of psychiatric classifications. Additionally, the seminars will address differential diagnoses of presentations, which is crucial for our practice. We aim to contribute to the theoretical understanding of these subjects alongside the practical experience of working with neurodiversity.
This event is open to qualified, practicing psychotherapists, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts and Jungian analysts.
The conference will take place online* over 3 days:
7pm to 9pm on Friday 28th November
10.30am to 4.30pm on Saturday 29th November
10.30am to 12.30pm on Sunday 30th November
*Saturday, November 29th will be a hybrid day with some participants from IGAP, GAP and AJA attending in person from AJA’s premises in Camden, London.
