SUMMARY:BBL | A Psychoanalytic Understanding of Autism
DESCRIPTION:Brown Bag Lunch Series\nA Psychoanalytic Understanding of Autism with George Grant\, LPC \nNovember 15\, 2023 12:00 – 1:00pm \nOn Zoom – 1 CE \n\n  \nIn 1975 Donald Meltzer formulated Adhesive Identification and described this concept in relation to his theory of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Mr. Grant will discuss the three types of patients who fall within Meltzer’s spectrum theory. It is felt that all three groups of patients exhibit “adhesive identification\,” which is closely connected with mimicry\, shallowness\, and externalization of values and is different from projective identification\, while both adhesive and projective types are are viewed as forms of narcissistic identification. There are many theorists grappling with the multidimensional and symptom variable nature of ASD. It is agreed that autism studies are\, by nature\, multi-discipline and encompass fields of neuroscience\, psychology\, psychoanalysis\, sociology\, learning specialties. Mr. Grant offers an opportunity to look at this controversial subject from a respected theorist’s perspective on the relationship between attachment\, neuroscience\, and identity: Donald Meltzer. \n  \nThe classical world hinted at the contrasting natures of autism and psychosis in Ovid’s “Echo and Narcissus.” Bernard Crespi and Christopher Badcock (Crespi & Badcock\, 2008) suggested much the same notion in their diametric theory of autism and psychosis. \nRecently\, neuroscience has placed autism at one end of a scale of developmental neural pruning\, when the brain sloughs off synaptic connections or accumulated\, but no longer needed learning\, and psychosis at the other. There is too little neural pruning in the former\, and there is too much in the latter. This leads to specific functional and personality presentations in each case. \n  \nThe under-pruned autistic brain calls for socio-emotional interaction that differs from that needed by the excessively-pruned brain of someone in psychosis. \nWe will be considering: \n\nThe concept of contact functioning as a relationship preservative intervention.\nInterventions to promote a sense of safety.\nInterventions addressing stimulation regulation techniques in the face of meltdowns or withdrawal\, and strategies for maximizing the power of intuition and imagination.\n\nCourse Objectives – Participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the three types of patients in Adhesive Identification.\nUnderstand narcisstic identification as it pertains to Autism Spectrum Disorders.\nDesign therapeutic interventions based on contact functioning for an underpruned brain.\nDescribe the importance of intuition and imagination in interventions with patients on the spectrum.\n\n\nGeorge Grant\, LPC\nMr. Grant started working life as an electrical engineer in telecom. During the telecom bust of the early 2000s\, he turned the crisis into greater meaning by becoming a high school physics teacher. In an effort for this recovering engineer to better understand his students\, he started taking a class each semester in the evening at ACAP in Livingston\, NJ\, in 2007. Today\, Mr. Grant has an MA in Mental Health Counseling from the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis\, holds an ABAP-accredited psychoanalytic certificate from ACAP\, is a licensed professional counselor\, and is a state-certified psychoanalyst in the State of NJ. \nHe has retired from teaching\, has a growing clinical practice\, and has been one of the founding members of iStrive\, a program for young adults on the spectrum who have aged out of other programs. He has also recently facilitated groups part-time at the JCNV for three years and works for Monmouth Integrative Counseling. Mr. Grant also holds a BSEE and an MBA and has endorsements in teaching mathematics and physical science at the secondary level from NJ. \n\nFor questions or information email Susan Carnes at info@acapnj.org or call 862-216-2400 \nACAP is an approved provider for: \nArt Therapists \nCounselors \nMarriage and Family Counselors \nNJ Psychoanalysts \nNJ Social Workers \nNY Creative Arts Therapists \nPsychologists \nNurses
