In this workshop Dr. Schore will discuss the essential themes of his recently published book,
The Science of the Art of Psychotherapy (Norton). Using the biopsychosocial perspective of
Regulation Theory, a model of the development, psychopathogenesis, and treatment of the
implicit self, he will discuss a number of essential clinical phenomena that occur beneath the
words of the patient and therapist. He will suggest that due to significant advances in
neuroscience we are currently experiencing a paradigm shift in psychotherapy, from
conscious cognition to unconscious affect. Referring to his current clinical, research, and
theoretical studies in neuropsychoanalysis, traumatology, and developmental affective
neuroscience, he will discuss the relational and neurobiological change mechanisms that lie at
the core of psychotherapy, especially in heightened affective moments of treatment. Over
the course of the day he will offer a number of PowerPoint – audience dialogues which
suggest that changes in the connectivity of the “emotional” right brain is a fundamental
outcome of effective treatment, and that the incorporation of current scientific studies of the
right brain into updated clinical models allows for a deeper understanding of not only why
but how psychotherapy works.

“Relational Trauma and the Development of the Right Brain”
AM: Working in the right brain: A regulation model of clinical expertise for treatment
of attachment trauma
This lecture will offer an interpersonal neurobiological model of psychotherapeutic expertise
for working with early-forming relational (attachment) trauma. The paradigm shift alters our
conception of clinical expertise from one who offers insight-oriented interpretations in order
make the unconscious conscious to one who optimally processes and regulates the patient’s
unconsciously communicated bodily-based affective states in order to facilitate development
of the unconscious mind itself.
PM: Therapeutic enactments: working in right brain windows of affect tolerance
The ongoing paradigm shift is deepening our understanding of the affective and
neurobiological dynamics of clinical enactments. Very recent relational and
neuropsychoanalytic models posit that enactments are eruptions of unconsciously strong
overwhelming affect within the therapeutic relationship and not technical mistakes, and that
they represent a way of reaching deeply into traumatized areas. The shift from cognition to
emotion, from conscious to unconscious processes, and from left to right brain allows for a
deeper understanding of how regulated enactments are a central mechanism of therapeutic
action, especially for patients with a history of attachment trauma.

*Present the neuroscience of how early relationship create the foundation for physical and
mental health.
*Illustrate the opportunities for assessing and supporting infant-parent relationships in
pediatric settings.
*Help pediatricians see not only obvious infant traumas, but also the subtle signs of troubled
relationships that compromise physical and mental health.
*Describe how parents’ emotional reactions to their child are rooted in the parents’ early developed and unconscious right-brain processes.
*Show how pediatricians’ emotional reactions to both parents and child provide essential
clinical information.

$40 per person. Some scholarships are available. See below contacts.
Allan Schore was the first neuropsychologist to relate brain development to the quality of
babies’ attachment. His 1994 book, Affect Regulation and the Origin of the Self, changed the
climate of scientific opinion about the nature of the mind.
This workshop will inform participants as to how they can promote self-regulation in young
children and strengthen these functions in troubled older children. The workshop will
consist of two 75-minute lectures, each followed by discussion. Bring your questions to this
leading expert in brain science. Talk with him about its surprising and hopeful implications.
