The group will read, study, and discuss books and papers by distinguished authors and researchers that explore some of the seminal concepts and clinical issues in neuropsychoanalytically informed psychotherapy. During the academic year 2022-23, we will be reading selected chapters of the book Affect Regulation Theory: A Clinical Model by Daniel Hill (2015) W.W. Norton & Company, New York. This book is a readable, clinically-based compilation of contemporary research and theory related to affect regulation – how humans regulate their emotions. As a central element of optimal human development and functioning, affect regulation is a central focus of psychoanalysis and other forms of psychotherapy. While this book draws heavily on the theories of Allan Schore, it integrates attachment theory, affective neurobiology, cognitive neurobiology, mother-infant studies, and developmental psychoanalysis. For May 5, we will discuss the following sections of the book: Chapter 8: Relational Traumas: Developmental Origins of Disordered Affect Regulation, pp. 135- 153 (Please familiarize yourself with the earlier sections PP. XIIV-131.)

Chapter 8: Relational Traumas: Developmental Origins of Disordered Affect Regulation, pp. 135- 153

Learning Objectives: After attending the presentation, participants will be able to
– Describe the components of the attachment relationship that are likely to lead to relational trauma.
– Describe the mechanisms which regulate the sympathetic nervous system and the role that each of them plays.
– Explicate the psychobiology of each of the following: Avoidant, Preoccupied and Disorganized Trauma.
