Dr Allan N. Schore

Dr. Allan N. Schore has been on the clinical faculty of the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA since 1996 and has been in private practice for more than four decades. He has contributed significant research to the disciplines of interpersonal neurobiology, affective neuroscience, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and clinical social work, as well as child mental health and trauma theory. Over the past two decades, Dr. Schore's interdisciplinary studies have focused on the integration of psychological and biological models of emotional and social development across the lifespan.

His contributions provide a substantial body of research and clinical evidence supporting the proposition that the right brain, which processes emotions in early development, represents the psychobiological substrate of the human unconscious described by Freud. His work has been an important catalyst in the current "emotional revolution" taking place across clinical and scientific disciplines. He is the author of Affect Regulation and the Origin of the Self, Affect Dysregulation and Disorders of the Self, Affect Regulation and the Repair of the Self, The Science of the Art of Psychotherapy and Right Hemisphere Psychotherapy (Eleftheria, Spring 2022). He is a member of the American Society for Neuroscience and the American Psychological Association's Divisions of Neuropsychology and Psychoanalysis. He has received several awards for his work, including the Award for Outstanding Contributions to Practice in Trauma Psychology from the Division of Trauma Psychology and the Scientific Award from the Division of Psychoanalysis of the American Psychological Association. He is also an honorary member of the American Psychoanalytic Association and the Reiss-Davis Child Study Center Award for outstanding contributions to child and adolescent mental health.
