Description
The rich, complex theory of affect regulation boiled down into a clinically useful guide.
Drawing on attachment, developmental trauma, implicit processes and neurobiology, major theorists from Allan Schore to Daniel Stern have argued how and why regulated affect, or emotion, is key to our optimal functioning. This book translates the intricacies of the theory into a cogent clinical synthesis.
The book is organized around the four domains of a clinical model:
- A theory of bodymind
- A theory of optimal development of affect regulation in secure attachment relationships
- A theory of pathogenesis, in which disordered affect regulation originates in relational trauma and insecure attachment relationships
- A theory of therapeutic actions targeted to repair the affect regulating systems
