ONLY CONNECT PROJECT


Call for Registration: Only Connect Workshop

24th and 25th of June 2016, Scarman Conference Centre, University of Warwick

This exploratory workshop brings together people who work in a variety of disciplines. Each has worked on explanations and/or diagnoses and/or interventions, with infants, adolescents, and adults, at the core of which work we find numerous insights into the questions we seek to explore and make progress with. Such questions include, but are by no means restricted, to the following:

1.The mechanisms that enable the creation and sustaining of various forms of non-verbal communication, in various situations and cases, and in various sensory modalities (sight, touch, hearing, etc).

2.The role these different mechanisms have in communicating, creating and sustaining a variety of emotions.

3.The relations between verbal and non-verbal communication in a variety of cases.

4.Differences and similarities between explanations of difficulties in establishing and sustaining connectedness in various cases (e.g. autism. dementia, a variety of problems and can be attributed to failures in securing ‘attachment’, communication with deaf-blind children and adults, and so forth).

5.The relations between accounts of what is required for establishing connectedness at a time and what is required for establishing a lasting, long-term sense of connectedness with others.

6.The nature of the communicative relations between therapist/clinician and patient.

7.The underpinnings and nature of ‘you-awareness’, and its relation to self-awareness/knowledge.

8.Ideas for ways of translating all of these insights into practice in various institutions.
