About this Short Online Course
This workshop consists of two lectures covering the main ideas for a theory of the body-mind, optimal development, pathogenesis and therapeutic action from the point of view of affect regulation theory. Two systems of affect regulation that develop in the attachment relationship are described. One is an implicit system that develops early (third trimester of pregnancy – 18 months) and is foundational. It operates instantaneously and involuntarily: our visceral reactions. The other is an explicit system that develops later (2-6 years) and is a conscious, deliberate and verbally reflective system (mentalization). Affect regulation theory proposes that personality and other developmental psychiatric disorders stem from early attachment trauma and its effects on the capacity to regulate affect. It also proposes that the repair of regulatory capacities takes place primarily in the implicit therapeutic relationship

About Daniel Hill, author of The Affect Regulation Theory, A Clinical Model
“Understanding affect is central to human psychology, and from the start, Freud was concerned with the vicissitude of how emotions connected to ideas and to their transformations into symptoms and psychopathology. And yet psychoanalysis has been slow to develop a comprehensive theory of affects. Daniel Hill is a master teacher, and in Affect Regulation Theory, he demonstrates how affects, and their regulation and dysregulation, are central to our sense of agency, authenticity, and interpersonal relations. He grounds his understanding in psychoanalysis, attachment theory, and neurobiology and illuminates the clinical relevance of relational trauma, dissociation, and self-states, thus integrating a comprehensive theory of mind, development, psychopathology and psychotherapy. This book will be essential reading for graduate students and clinicians.”
“With Affect Regulation Theory, Daniel Hill makes an invaluable contribution to the growing field of psychotherapy that is reflective of a psychobiological perspective. The book is well written, well researched, and comprehensive. For any therapist seeking to broaden his or her theoretical knowledge base, with the ultimate goal of incorporating that information into clinical practice, I recommend reading this book first and foremost”
“Daniel Hill has written a beautiful, user-friendly translation and elaboration of the theories of Allan Schore, Daniel Siegel, and Peter Fonagy. Illustrating with clinical vignettes, Hill integrates affect regulation, early attachment trauma, and theories of neurobiology. This is an excellent book for the working clinician.”
“Affect regulation theory is the surprising meeting ground of neurobiology, developmental psychology, and psychoanalysis. In this important book, Daniel Hill captures its relevance to each of these realms. Wonderfully comprehensive and engagingly written, this book will be a boon to students. It will also captivate those of us whose education preceded these exciting developments by deeply enhancing our understanding of human emotions.”
“Daniel Hill’s Affect Regulation Theory is a superb synthesis of cutting-edge developments in attachment theory and research, mother-infant research, research on mentalization, affect regulation theory, neurobiology and psychoanalytic theory. Clinically astute and gracefully written, it will be of great interest to clinicians coming from a wide range of theoretical orientations.”
“An outstanding contribution, this accessible volume offers fresh and compelling perspectives on dissociation, internal working models, trauma, attachment, pathogenesis and more, all through the lens of affect regulation. Drawing on the work of Allan Schore, the author’s emphasis on the role of the implicit self and brilliant integration of neuroscience and theory with clinical practice will hold your interest page after page. Affect Regulation Theory is sure to spark new ways of thinking about your patients and their problems, challenge how you view your role as clinician, and quite possibly change the way you practice therapy. Don’t miss it!”
