PPT Allan Schore: Neurobehavioral Development of Young Children: Neuroscience and Early Trauma

A large body of experimental and clinical data now indicates that early trauma specifically impacts the later capacities of the right brain and its connections into the limbic and autonomic nervous system to implicitly regulate an array of affective and motivational states, including pain states.

In this presentation Dr. Schore describes the mechanisms by which overwhelming experiences impact the developing brain and mind, including the characterological use of the bottom-line defense of dissociation.

BIO: Allan Schore, Ph.D. is on the clinical faculty of the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine.
