Michel Grollier (F): “Trust in the Subject with Autism”
break
discussion groups
Saturday 2nd April 2016
The conference builds on previous international events organized by CSPAP’s
Child and Adolescent Individual Section, and on lively and enriching cooperation
with foreign colleagues – child psychoanalytical psychotherapists – especially
those from Great Britain.
The theme of April´s conference will focus on problems of children (and adults)
with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD). Czech and foreign experts will present
their papers. Emphasis of the conference will be placed on presenting clinical
material and on learning about psychoanalytical perspective on autism and
treatment of children with ASD. We believe that psychoanalysis can contribute
to understanding these children and bring relief both to them and their
caregivers. Apart from lectures, the conference will include discussion groups
and social program.
The event is open to all psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, other
medical specialists, teachers, assistants, and other professionals who work with
children (and adults) with autism.
Additionally, we plan on dedicating the Summer 2017 issue of The Review of
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy to autism.
