Training Description
This pre-recorded online course consists of two master classes given by Dr Allan Schore. The lectures are based on three chapters from the recent book, now available in its first Spanish edition. You can get a copy of “The Development of the Unconscious Mind”, by Allan Schore from your local bookseller or through your preferred online bookstore.
Ch. 1: Early Emotional Attachment, the Development of the Right Brain, and the Relational Origins of the Unconscious Mind
Ch. 2: Modern Attachment Theory
Ch. 5: Early Right Brain Regulation and the Relational origins of Emotional Well-Being
Learning Goals
After this training the students will be able to:
- Describe the science and clinical implications of Modern Attachment Theory.
- Outline the central role of right brain unconscious processes in both the attachment and therapeutic relationships.
- Explain how the clinician can listen beneath the words to track and regulate the patient’s changing emotional states.
- Discuss the importance of interpersonal synchrony, empathy, and right brain-to-right brain communications in treatment.
- Understand clinical approaches for working directly with attachment trauma, dissociation, and ruptures of the therapeutic alliance.
- Describe the early relational right brain origins of love and play.
Program
FIRST LECTURE:
“The Modern Attachment Theory”
In the first lecture, Dr Schore will further expand Modern Attachment Theory, which posits that the hard wiring of the infant’s early developing right brain, which is dominant for the processing of emotional and social information, is imprinted in the nonverbal attachment relationship with the mother. A primary focus is on the rapid right brain-to-right brain nonverbal communication and regulation of the infant’s emotional states, which occurs at unconscious levels. This psychobiological mechanism in turn fosters the developing child’s emerging adaptive abilities to experience, communicate, synchronize, and regulate emotional self-states, and ultimately the co-creation of an integrated subjective sense of self. He will also discuss the enduring effects of early right brain relational trauma, the genesis of a predisposition to later psychiatric and personality disorders, and psychotherapy.
In the latter, he will offer clinical applications of how to work directly with the emotional right-brain attachment bond in the patient-therapist relationship, and thereby with attachment dynamics of both positive and negative states, including trauma. Recent neuroscience research will be offered that strongly supports both the theory and its clinical models.
SECOND LECTURE:
“Early Right Brain Development and the Relational Origins of Intersubjective Play and Mutual Love”
In “Early Right Brain Development and the Relational Origins of Intersubjective Play and Mutual Love,” he will offer a body of neuroscience research which documents that specific right brain systems operate between the mother and infant while they are nonverbally communicating intensely positive and loving emotional states. He will integrate current advances in neuro psychoanalysis to propose that the earliest emergence of mutual love occurs at 2-3 months, and that mother-infant mutual love is the neurobiological source of all later forms of adult love. Current interdisciplinary data strongly support the concept of the long-lasting and pervasive influence of maternal love on the development and future emotional well being of the individual. This capacity for intimacy is also shaped by the psychotherapy process. He will also discuss the early right brain origins of play, and imagination.

About the book: "The Development of the Unconscious Mind"
“Prepare the left side of your brain to be gobsmacked by Schore’s argument for the centrality of the right side of your brain in the development not only of the self, but in loving relationships as well, and the psychopathology of both. Schore is exceptional among most contemporary theorists in simultaneously speaking to the structural organization of the brain and how it functions over the course of early and lifelong development. Through it all Schore never loses sight of the actual messy moment-by-moment reparatory process of social interactions that sculpts individuals’ becoming who they are.”
– Ed Tronick, University Distinguished Professor, University of Massachusetts, author of The neurobehavior and social-emotional development of infants and young children
“His authentic and original contributions… have contributed to refine and reshape our understanding of the mechanisms underpinning psychopathology and thus my clinical practice.”
– Dr. George Halasz, ESTD Newsletter
“This book records the inspiring work of a psychoanalyst and therapist intrigued with Freud’s theory of the feelings that move the ‘unconscious’ mind. Allan Schore reviews 30 years of discoveries in psychology and neuroscience to support appreciation of the creativity of emotional engagements mediated between right hemispheres in intimate attachments through all stages of life.”
– Colwyn Trevarthen, PhD, FRSE, Professor (Emeritus) of Child Psychology and Psychobiology, School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences, The University of Edinburgh
“In The Development of the Unconscious Mind we join Allan Schore on his intellectual journey as he weaves a scholarly narrative integrating neuroscience into his theoretical model of attachment. At the foundational base of his scholarship is the insightful assumption that modern attachment theory is functionally a theory of self-regulation with a neurobiological substrate. By citing studies across several disciplines, he brilliantly builds a compelling argument for a neurobiological base for his theoretical conceptualizations and applies these conceptualizations to several relevant clinical and developmental questions related to vulnerability, trauma, sex differences, intimacy, and autism.”
– Stephen W. Porges, PhD, Distinguished University Scientist, Kinsey Institute, Indiana University, author of The Polyvagal Theory
“Allan has continued to push beyond the limits of conventional wisdom, unconstrained by conventional expectations. To redefine basic assumptions in mental health is an act of courage and daring. His quest and passion, to consistently and persistently address the vast advances in the basic neurosciences, while at the same time to be deeply engaging, updating, and infusing his new insights into our ever-changing cultural and social upheavals, in order to inform our current psychotherapy, is one hallmark of his paradigm change…I find that his authentic and original contributions, a pioneer clinician–scientist, has contributed to refine and reshape our understanding of the mechanisms underpinning psychopathology and thus my clinical practice of developmentally informed psychotherapy.”
