How can therapists work with autistic people, individuals with ADHD, and other neurodivergent communities in affirming ways? What is the potential for psychodynamic work with neurodivergent individuals? What biases persist and how can they lead to harmful formulations and interventions? This course will explore these and related questions, striving to introduce participants to neurodiversity-affirming work, to reckon with psychoanalysis’s history with respect to autism, and to dream together about the possibilities of analytic work in this area.
This class offers a history of the body in psychoanalytic inquiry, looks at foundational concepts such as Winnicott’s psyche-soma, Bick’s second skin, and Anzieu’s skin ego, and aims to move beyond our field’s Eurocentric biases. This class will expand its gaze to include a Buddhist perspective on oneness of self-and-other in the dyad; the potential reintegration of bodily experience carried through yet erased in immigration; and an awareness of racial difference, skin tone, and fixed gender binaries as they organize, constrain, or disrupt the clinical frame. It also includes conceptual integration and room for other topics of interest to the group.
This event allows those who work in Community Mental Health to get out and meet others in the field while having an outlet to spend time in the outdoors.
