The Future of the Autism Concept<\/h2>\n
Discussants<\/b>:<\/p>\n Chair<\/b>: Professor Carsten Timmermann, CHSTM<\/p>\n Cost:<\/b> No charge, please come a few minutes early if you want tea or coffee.<\/p>\n Abstract:<\/b><\/p>\n In 1994 the psychiatrist and historian of psychiatry Germ\u00e1n El\u00edas Berr\u00edos\u00a0opened a journal article on the historiography of mental illness with the following provocative paragraph:<\/p>\n Berrios suggested that the solution to the predicament was to find ways to work together, clinicians and historians. Inspired by Berrios’ provocation, we would like to invite you to join us for the first of\u00a0a series of seminars where distinguished clinicians and academics working in disciplines connected with mental health meet with historians, sociologists, anthropologists and other interested scholars in the humanities and social sciences, to create dialogue and build links.<\/p>\n The seminars will, in the first instance, be face to face whilst the format is developed. Invited speakers will provide background reading in preparation for the event and then present their arguments for around 20 minutes, followed by ample time for discussion.\u00a0<\/p>\n Places are limited so to attend email Jane Whittaker, PhD student at CHSTM, jane.whittaker-4@postgrad.manchester.ac.uk,<\/a>\u00a0to secure a spot. Tea\/ coffee and biscuits will be available (we have to make our own), and some of us will be going for a drink afterwards.<\/p>\n Dr Evans is Lecturer in the History of Medicine and Health at the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, Manchester University.<\/p>\n Her work explores the global history of child psychology, developmental neuroscience, and the making of the modern self. She has an MSc in Economic and Social History (History of Medicine) from Oxford University and a PhD from the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, Cambridge University. \u00a0<\/p>\n She co-founded the interdisciplinary Health and Welfare Research Group at CRASSH, Cambridge. She then held a fellowship at King\u2019s College, London’s Centre for Medical Humanities followed by a Wellcome Trust Research Fellowship at Queen Mary University, where she also collaborated on a project on cinema and psychology.<\/p>\n She has researched and lectured the international history of child sciences, psychology and eugenics. Her first monograph,\u00a0The Metamorphosis of Autism\u00a0<\/a><\/i>was published by Manchester University Press in 2017. She is currently writing a new book with Reaktion Press.<\/p>\n In addition to her academic work, she has also worked as a policy and media advisor and has written for publications such as\u00a0Aeon<\/i>.

He studied medicine at Cambridge, Paediatrics in London and Psychiatry in Oxford before establishing clinical and research groups in\u00a0Manchester. He developed and tested early parent-mediated interventions for autistic development for both pre-school diagnosed children (PACT) and in the pre-diagnostic stage (iBASIS); and built on this evidence to advocate an early developmental pathway approach to autistic care that is now being applied in UK and internationally.<\/p>\n Recently, he has undertaken participatory work with the autistic community, including a novel phenomenology project (Murray et al 2023) and the broad review of autistic phenomenology that forms the basis to this talk (Green\u00a0and Shaughnessy 2023).<\/p>\n Jonathan\u00a0sat on the most recent NICE development group for autism. He is a Senior Investigator in NIHR, Fellow of the UK Academy of\u00a0Medical\u00a0Sciences, and UK Global Senior Leader for autism for the International\u00a0Society\u00a0of Autism Research (INSAR).<\/p>\n View Jonathans\u2019 research profile<\/a><\/p>\n Recommended reading prior to the seminar:<\/strong><\/p>\n Green, J.G. & Shaughnessy, N. \u2018HYPOTHESIS AND THEORY article Section of Psychopathology: Autistic phenomenology: past, present, and potential future.\u00a0Front.
