ASD, ADHD and Neurodiversity with Kristina Valendinova

With rising diagnoses of ASD and ADHD in most countries around the world, can psychoanalysis contribute anything to the understanding of both social and clinical aspects of this changing landscape? These seminars will examine the place of ASD and ADHD in contemporary discourse and discuss psychoanalytic conceptualisations, showing their relevance to both clinical work and to research on themes such as attention, sensory sensitivity and communication.

Kristina Valendinova is a practicing analyst, member of CFAR and of the Cercle Freudien in Paris.
