chapters. His Regulation Theory, grounded in developmental neuroscience and developmental

psychoanalysis, focuses on the origin, psychopathogenesis, and psychotherapeutic treatment of the early

forming subjective implicit self. His contributions appear in multiple disciplines, including developmental

neuroscience, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, developmental psychology, attachment theory, trauma studies,

behavioral biology, clinical psychology, and clinical social work. His groundbreaking integration of

neuroscience with attachment theory has lead to his description as "the American Bowlby" and with

psychoanalysis as "the world's leading expert in neuropsychoanalysis.

In 3 volumes, Affect Regulation and the Origin of the Self (1994), Affect Dysregulation and Disorders of the

Self (2003), and Affect Regulation and the Repair of the Self (2003) and numerous articles and chapters, Dr.

Allan Schore has documented the significant advances that have been made in our understanding of early

human development and in the application of this developmental information to models of psychopathogenesis

and psychotherapy.

In this 2 day workshop, offered as a PowerPoint presentation and an ongoing dialogue with the audience, he

will initially discuss current models of the neurobiology of attachment, detailing the positive impact of early

interactively regulated bodily-based affective communications on the organization of the infant’s developing

right brain, which for the rest of the life span is dominant for the processing of emotions and intersubjectivity.

He will also characterize the neurobiological mechanisms that underlie intersubjective resonance, nonverbal

communication, and projective identification. Dr. Schore will then describe the negative impact of relational

trauma on the developmental trajectory of the right brain and model the intergenerational transmission of a

predisposition to attachment trauma-related psychopathologies of self-regulation, including posttraumatic stress

disorder and borderline personality disorder in both children and adults.

In the second day Dr. Schore will apply regulation theory to the change process of psychotherapy. He will

describe the critical role of the right brain in implicit facial, gestural, and prosodic communications within the

therapeutic alliance, in dysregulated states of affective hyper- and hypoarousal that occur in enactments, and

in empathy, transference-countertransference, and affect regulation. This work suggests that interactive

regulation within the therapeutic alliance is a central mechanism in the treatment of patients with a history of

early relational trauma.

Program Objectives:

1. Participants will discuss how the attachment relationship acts to regulate the child’s emotional state.

2. Participants will discuss how these interactions influence the experience-dependent maturation of the

infant’s right hemisphere which is dominant for processing social and emotional information.

3. Participants will recognize how a history of early relational trauma severely alters attachment dynamics,

right brain neurobiology and generates a predisposition for defensive pathological dissociation.

4. Participants will discuss how the regulation model applies to the attachment relationship embedded in the

therapeutic alliance, and the interpersonal neurobiology of dissociation, empathy and transference-counter

transference interactions between patient and therapist.
