Jonathan Delafield-Butt, PhD
University of Strathclyde
About the Speaker: Jonathan Delafield-Butt is professor of child neurodevelopment and autism, and director of the award-winning cross-disciplinary Laboratory for Innovation in Autism at the University of Strathclyde. His work examines the origins of conscious experience and the embodied and emotional foundations of psychological development, with attention to the subtle but significant motor disruption evident in autism spectrum disorder. He took his Ph.D. in developmental neurobiology at the University of Edinburgh Medical School before extending to developmental psychology with application in intersubjectivity theory in postdoctoral work at the Universities of Edinburgh and Copenhagen. He held scholarships at Harvard University and the Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of Edinburgh for science-philosophy bridgework. Delafield-Butt trained pre-clinically in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Scottish Institute for Human Relations. He is a member of the World Association for Infant Mental Health, the International Society for Autism Research, and is the Gillberg Neuropsychiatry Centre at Gothenburg. His lab develops bespoke wearable and smart device serious games to characterize the motor signature in autism spectrum disorder, and its social and psychological consequences.
