Thank you, Dr. Schore, for this fascinating lecture. A statement stayed with me: "We have become too left brain in our cultures". Absolutely! This world is desperately in need of empathy and healthy relationships. The vast array of dysfunction in family relationships is so alarming. So many kids are exposed to abuse everywhere. Children are the most vulnerable. It is comforting to know that the brain has plasticity and even if a child was exposed to childhood trauma, there is a chance of emotional and developmental recovery if this child becomes exposed to love later in life. There is a possibility of reverting insecure attachment to secure attachment. That is surely a groundbreaking and life-changing possibility!! Thank you for sharing this lecture. It was wonderful, so informative, and fascinating! Surely, a light at the end of the tunnel, when one thinks about the immense damage abuse causes.
A deep understanding of attachment theory has made all the difference to me in understanding how early trauma impacted my development and cascaded through my life. At least now I can stop blaming myself for my struggles. Trauma beginning in the crib made it impossible for me to fully develop security in self or safety in the world. I know I'm not alone with any of this.
I'm a psychologist. I'm treating people with my Attachment Theory (more neuroscience oriented now) Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. Dr Schore's book is still with me. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
At 21 minutes in I love this!! I was havin a sad day and I got in my car and jammed to a song and sang and my baby started kicking inside me like crazy🧡I’m 31 weeks today
Great. Too bad the camera has not captured the slides. Would have been better if we could have access to the slides he is referring to while presenting.
Interesting talk when I think of my own foundation and it was abusive had tragic consequences for my life but looking back I can see my parent couldn't even know whether they had a left brain or right brain causw there life was being threatened as she tried to care for us out of having nothing and no needs met herself
No. The division between left and right brain functions is related to the basic circuiting of incoming signals to the left and right brain. Left handedness is related to sensory function. Right brain function is more about using the right brain as the dominant sensory processing and integrating hemisphere.
It is not about modelling, it is about how the mother responds to the child's states. Perhaps better to think of it as "meeting" the child in their states and regulating them from within that connection. Modelling is a one person psychological term that has no relevance to this new two person approach.
what confusing to me is the following: we form attachment with caregivers, then we feel secure and explore the environment with passion, and when we feel guilty or shame we go back to mothers to freely express our feelings, but as adults what replaces that? a wife or a husband or a child or maybe a house, is it healthy to tie our security to these relations? what if a wife decided to leave we will grief and might regress badly, do adults need security, of course but it should be elicited from super powers like mothers to children.
That process as you described it is the way our nervous systems learn to regulate themselves. Through the safety provided by the co-regulation (and up-regulation) with the caregiver, we actually build and strengthen brain pathways that in adulthood will become the architecture of our resilience or ability to self-regulate. We don’t build self-sufficiency as children by cognitively being taught how to handle challenges, rather it’s our autonomic nervous systems who leads the game, and the dominance of negative or positive responses is a product of this feel-safe-explore-feel-safe-again process. Resilience is built in the autonomic nervous system, not in the thinking conscious mind, and for that we need the sense that everything is going to be alright, that we are safe and protected, which in adulthood will no longer depend anymore on others.
@@wallymarcel1 No, that's that not exactly it. Attachment theory highlights that we NEED emotional connection to other people. We are wired to seek out and form attachments with other people because it is essential to our functioning. Yes, you should form an empathic relationship with the self ( a positive self concept), but this also means that you are able depend on others as well. Part of this is recognizing what a healthy relationship (friend or partner) consists of and knowing your own value.
It is absolutely healthy to tie security to other people. Unfortunately, yes things like loss and grief happen, but these are natural phenomenon of human experience. The point is not to avoid it, the point is to move through it. Adults do need security and there is also plenty of research that highlights the devasting impact of loneliness which can actually increase your risk for death as well as a host of other problems related to physical and mental health.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am currently pregnant and my fiancé is going thru legal issues that may cause him to only be able to see his son on holidays. I am very disturbed thinking of how this could effect his attachment and development from ages 0-3 years. I think of the connection and bond with dada being loving then just not present. I think of the I miss daddy and why isn’t daddy here. I’ve seen other people’s young children go through this. If you have the time to answer this: I am wondering how traumatizing is this for a child. It is up to his parole officer to grant allowance for him to be a father presently daily or to not allow him to see him for 3 years. His father is so loving. I’m wondering if there are any Articles or references for this information I could send his parole officer to Inform her of the benefit of his father being consistently present for him. And the detriment of choosing to only allow a child to see his father on holidays and not have that consistent supportive relationship. I am scared how this will effect his attachment and development through life. Thank you 💛
They can still have secure attachment from you, the most important thing is that you care and you are learning. Keep stress down and don’t be depressed or leave them, keep searching videos and resources. You’ll find ones that would be more practical on what exactly “promotes healthy attachment” I see you’re care and I hope you’re partner can keep his spirits up. Best wishes
Wow! Without Jesus's all encompassing love for me and healing in my life, including my brain, I would have been doomed to a life of disregulated misery. But praise God I am whole.
If Dr. Schore is so excited about maternal attachment skills, why aren't we hearing him mention connecting with early childhood educators and therapists? It's great to tell psychologists, but by the time a child gets to therapy, that child is older and a lot of damage has been done.
I guess this talk is aimed at the psychiatrists. He does advocate for early intervention, at least he does in his book, "The science of the art of psychotherapy."
His time is fully taken up with his research and writing, which is indeed aimed at professional psychologists and psychotherapists. He can't do everything. What he does inordinately well is make sense of the research and communicate it with great intellectual integrity. It is up to the rest of us to bring the content to others. I myself work at this rather regularly.
@@TomCloyd That is entirely wrong! His work is not predominantly aimed at psychologists and psychotherapists but at a paradigm shift that fundamentally transforms if you will our entire of being and relating or I should interbeing and intersubjective self-other relating. His work addresses, along with Stephen Porges, Bruce Perry, Dan Siegal, et al a new understanding of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology to early education and family system dynamics. His work also directly addresses subcortical systems that are common, indeed identical in many ways between PTSD and autism spectrum challenges.
@@Neilgs I see confusion in your response. You are talking about his subject matter. I'm talking about the consumers of his thought and writing. Paradigm shifts do not do themselves. Paradigms live inside the brains of human beings. The people most prepared to understand what he's talking about, and likely most interested as well, are those I identified in my previous comment. He is a psychologist talking about processes fundamental to human development. That's psychology, and no one consumes more psychology than other psychologists.
Im a therapist and have undertaken professional development with Allan Schore in person for around 15 years. He is very active in training therapists and people in early childhood realms. Im in Australia and he travels here every second year to participate in a week long conference we run.
Russell Barkley are you F kidding me?! Please I certainly hope you are being sarcastic. That manipulative little egregious cognitive-behavioral psychotropic weasel bought and paid for by Pharma deserves a well earned place in hell! As well as a slew of criminal charges! It is about Neurosceince, specifically Developmental Affect Neuroscience and a comprehensive biopsychosocial understanding versus the antiquated 1950's/1960's dust bin of Applied behavioral Analysis and Cognitive behavioral crap! ABA and CBT combined with psychotropics to manage premedial frontal cortex (which ignores the early developing brain and epigenetics) is essentially like comparing 19th Century Phrenology with modern neuroscience. He should be barred from any further speaking enagagments. He is a complete and utter fraud!
@@Grimenoughtomaketherobotcry Nice. However, your comments weren't so apparent and this is youtube where we can find quite the number of idiots who swear by the above.
The major error, No mom/no me. No safety, no joy. No attachment rattled the wiring, and attachment order. People have failed, their children, with latch key (no one at home) concepts, abandonment and lack of modeling no mirroring and no god, no love, no mom, creates disorganized attachment and a very mentally, and biologically, disorganized life !!!! No mom/no me.

No, you are not.
Yes.. And isn't it wonderful that you can acquire secure attachment as an adult and the brain has that plasticity to change

Hope youve had a beautiful baby Vanessa. The world needs more conscious mothers 🙏
Very interesting talk.
It's a shame that none of the slides he talks about are visible...
I went word by word on the transcript . Holy moly . Also as I was going It all applies to my mom and my dads upbringing.
Great. Too bad the camera has not captured the slides. Would have been better if we could have access to the slides he is referring to while presenting.
They're in the video's description 🙂
@@tbucker2247 Oh, that would be great! But I do not find them there.
I don't see them there which is unfortunate. If you the slides saved or if you have a link available, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you Dr Schore, for such an incredible summary of vast amounts of clinical understandings and research.
This was extremely helpful and informative. All this body of research in 50 minutes! appreciated.
Amazing, thank you for your work Dr. Schore!
Fantastic. It would be lovely to have more TH-cam videos available.
It is amazing how completely the infant drinks in the state of being of the mother, especially the highly sensitive one.
No All infants.
Sesitive infant + trauma = cluster b personality disorders.
Thanks a lot for upload this lecture, it is amazing to learn from this expert
Fantastic. Thanks for posting this.

It’s hard to see the outcomes of the past play out in front of our eyes while being in a minority that somewhat understands.

Does handedness have anything to do with right brain dominance? Is there any association with emotional attachment and handedness?
No. The division between left and right brain functions is related to the basic circuiting of incoming signals to the left and right brain. Left handedness is related to sensory function.
Right brain function is more about using the right brain as the dominant sensory processing and integrating hemisphere.
is that his vape pen in his hands? great work. thank you very much for sharing.
It would be nice if we could see the diagrams, too.
We therapists pay thousands to have Dr Schore speak and train us. It is not reasonable that you have access to this material online for free.
@@marks5926 Really?! It is not reasonable for people, yourself included, to access the fundamentals of human development for free?
Interesting that the mother must not only avoid modelling negativity, but that she must also model joy and excitement.
It is not about modelling, it is about how the mother responds to the child's states. Perhaps better to think of it as "meeting" the child in their states and regulating them from within that connection. Modelling is a one person psychological term that has no relevance to this new two person approach.
Makes sense, interesting lecture.
with this said, paid parental leave from work during the infants first year should be a human right.
LOUDER!
Thank you for sharing this brilliant insight
Fabulous

The goal is to form an empathic relationship with one’s own self and feelings and become one’s own secure base.

Hi do u have any info on father child connections!
Emma Douglas "living with men" Dr Jim wilder.
primary care giver can be either mother father or other, mother used as still the dominant care giver in western culture
James Moore thank you for recommending the author, found him on TH-cam - very interesting!
Schores work starts with addressing the mother child dyad, but then moves on to the mother-child-partner triad.

Having at least one consistent attachment figure is vital. Sometimes it can be a grandparent- providing they are up to it.
Hard work but very interesting.
Wow! Without Jesus's all encompassing love for me and healing in my life, including my brain, I would have been doomed to a life of disregulated misery. But praise God I am whole.
Many Christians use Jesus as an attachment figure.
