    Course Description

    This is a unique opportunity to work closely with Dr. Schore, whose pioneering integrative work has almost single handedly moved contemporary theory from its traditional emphasis on "left-brain", verbal, and cognitive processes to its current interest on "right-brain" emotional and relational processes, moving towards its future trajectory recognizing the importance of embodied and somatic states. This 2-day intensive workshop will initially explore advances in the developmental neurobiology of attachment and the right brain.  Dr. Schore will then describe the negative impact of relational trauma on the developmental trajectory of the right brain and his model of the origins of pathological dissociation, as well as 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. On the second day, regulation theory will be directly applied to cutting edge models of psychotherapy of severe self-pathologies. He will discuss the essential role of implicit bodily-based nonverbal affective communications within the intersubjective field of the therapeutic alliance, the neurobiology of transference/counter-transference, dissociation and projective identification, the critical role of interactive regulation in treatment, and state of the art neuroimaging studies of structural changes associated with psychotherapy.
