Review
------
“Schore weaves together, in a seemingly effortless fashion,
left and right, science and art, head and heart, and theory and
practice, managing somehow to make tremendously complex subject
matter at once accessible, compelling, and clinically useful. So
settle in, savor every morsel, enjoy every moment, engage both
sides of your brain―and you will be richly rewarded for your
efforts. . . . [A] must-read for professionals and
interested lay persons alike.

“Dr. Schore has been a pioneer in writing about integrative
neurobiological models of development . . . . [T]he text is of
great value to anyone interested in the theoretical basis
underlying attachment and affect regulation. Of particular
interest to psychotherapists is that the book explores how
psychotherapists’ neurobiology may be altered as a function of
the practice of psychotherapy. . . . [O]f value to teachers who
want to integrate important findings about current neuroscience
into psychotherapy training. Any clinician who believes in the
centrality of developmental processes regarding the understanding
of adult patients will be riveted by the descriptions of the
interdisciplinary data that support our theories of attachment
and emotion regulation. . . . I recommend that all psychiatrists
become conversant with Dr. Shore’s work.

- Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
“One would be hard pressed to find another book so extensively
filled with an up-to-date and extensive review of contemporary
studies on the affective and neuroscience literature related to
psychotherapy and psychoanalysis as this. This work will likely
be a major reference source for those interested in understanding
the brain-mind-body relationships, particularly in the two-person
model, focused on the dissociative process, and the autonomic
nervous system concomitants.”
- Journal of Analytical Psychology
“I would recommend The Science of the Art of Psychotherapy to
child psychiatry/psychology fellows, psychoanalysts, family
therapists, . . . neuroscience majors, psychology students at all
levels of training, and any student of attachment therapy.

- Journal of Psychiatric Practice
“[S]chore's contribution continues to be invaluable. He
voraciously digests the hard science on our behalf, and shows us
over and over again that the evidence is there, and that this
really matters.
”
- Therapy Today
“Geared towards psychotherapists and scientists, this collection
of the latest applicable research and advances in clinical
practice creates an enriching centrality between these two realms
in the mental profession.

- Somatic Psychotherapy Today
“Readers familiar with Schore’s previous work will recognize his
rigorous and wide-ranging scholarship. This book, like its
predecessors, is a thoroughly researched, extensively referenced
integration of varied literatures. . . . [T]his is a foundational
book, providing a scientific and theoretical basis for scholars
and researchers in modern attachment theory, affective
neuroscience, and neuropsychiatry.
