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 2023-24 academic year we will be completing 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. On December 1, we will discuss the following sections of this book:

Chapter 14: Interactive Regulation and Vitalizing Attunement, pp. 219-235

Learning Objectives: After attending the presentation, participants will be able to
– Describe the process of Interactive Regulation of affects.
– Explain what is meant by Enactments and Denactments.
– Define Vitalizing Attunement and describe their therapeutic value.
