Psychomotricity: next move in neuropsychiatry

This event is accredited 10 credit points by the SGPP (Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie)

Almost 150 years after its invention by Karl Kahlbaum, catatonia has re-emerged as an independent entity with the official endorsement of the ICD-11 this year. However, it probably neither refers to the same patients, nor to the same phenomena. “Catatonia” and “psychomotricity” are polysemous; they refer to different concepts depending on the paradigmatic framework, e.g. neuropsychiatry, psychological psychiatry, dimensional research domain criteria… This workshop aims at clarifying some of the major research programs and paradigmatic frameworks in which these phenomena are studied. It will mix philosophy of science, methods, and results, but also clinical symptoms, signs, and examination procedures. Experts and participants will give their opinion on the same video to objectify some differences in interpretation and definition – participants are welcome to bring questions and clinical material to be discussed. The goal is not to decide who is right or wrong, but to build bridges between different views which might ultimately permit to confront them through crucial experimental series. This dialectic approach promotes cross-fertilization and ambition to speed-up the discovery process.

Organizers: Dr Jack Foucher et Dr Clément de Billy (Icube, Institut de Physique Biologique & Hôpitaux Universitaires de Strasbourg, Cercle d’Excellence sur les Psychoses, CEP)

Organized under the hospice of the European collaboration on movement and sensorimotor & psychomotor functioning in schizophrenia and other psychoses (ECSP), the European Scientific Association on schizophrenia and other psychoses (ESAS) and of the Wernicke-Kleist-Leonhard (WKL) international society.
