Editorial Review:
Product Description:
The latest work from a pioneer in the study of the development of the self.
In 1994 Allan Schore published his groundbreaking book, Affect Regulation and the Origin of the Self, in which he integrated a large number of experimental and clinical studies from both the psychological and the biological disciplines in order to construct an overarching model of social and emotional development. Since then he has expanded his regulation theory in more than two dozen articles and essays covering multiple disciplines, including neuroscience, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, developmental psychology, attachment, and trauma.
This volume is the first presentation of his comprehensive theory in book form as it has developed since 1994. Affect Dysregulation and Disorders of the Self contains writings on developmental affective neuroscience and developmental neuropsychiatry. Absolutely essential reading for all clinicians, researchers, and general readers interested in normal and abnormal human development.

- Thumbs upExcellent synthesis of latest neuro scientific research and the effects of early childhood trauma and the physical and psychologiscal development of the self.
Rating:
- affect regulationa little redundant in places, but good theory and worthy of reading for individuals interested in affect regulation. Attempts to cover many areas of research into one theoretical structure; may lose something in this attempt, but good attempt. Would like to see more research generated by it....

- Provides solid ground for psychotherapistsAllan Schore's books provide evidence of the most concrete kind for the benefits of long-term psychotherapy. With the advent of managed care and the hyperactive sales and advertising of psychotropic medication, not only ordinary consumers but psychotherapists themselves begin to believe their work is unnecessary at best. These two volumes are a collection of papers that bring together evidence from brain research and attachment theory to explain the very solid basis for mind change and therefore brain development that results from caregiving relationships. As a psychotherapist, I am profoundly grateful for the breadth and depth of these scholarly volumes. Dr. Schore stands as a courageous voice against the steamroller of the current industrial mental health system, giving us scientific evidence in their own language.
Rating:
- FascinatingAn important part of the current literature on attachment and neurobiology - seems to have spurred on a great deal of research, writing and dialogue. It'd probably be helpful to brush up on at least the basics of brain physiology and neurobiology before jumping into this book - but the basics are easy enough to follow and the implications are profound.
Rating:
- Excellent, informative, readable resourceThis two-volume work is extremely helpful for those seeking to develop a comprehensive understanding of affective neuroscience. It is a highly informative and readable resource for mental health professionals and researchers of all levels.
