Complexity and the Body:
How Neurodevelopmental Differences Shape our 'Experience Of'
and How Understanding Them Can Deepen Clinical Work
The impact of our individual, neurodevelopmental differences is an often-overlooked factor that influences our experiences of self, other, and the world around us. In our job, it’s helpful to understand how sensory, motor, language, and other cognitive factors shape the clinical process. This presentation will use both an adult case (presenting ADHD challenges) and a child case (presenting language processing and sensorimotor challenges) to explore how the addition of neurodevelopmental perspectives expands our understanding of patients' experiences. The seminar will also help attendees consider when additional supports are needed, and opens up new ways of understanding interpersonal and intrapsychic dynamics.
Objectives:
- Demonstrate an understanding that neurodevelopmental differences impact interpersonal and intrapsychic dynamics.
- Assess one’s own understanding of neurodevelopmental differences and when to look for consultation from multi-disciplinary professionals to better-understand the role of neurodevelopmental factors.
- Consider the role that neurodevelopmental factors have on a therapist’s formulations and ability to fully empathize with patients’ experiences.
