Dr. Schore’s recent book, Right Brain Psychotherapy is now available.

“In this meticulously researched and lovingly crafted masterpiece, the trailblazing, internationally renowned neuroscientist-clinician Allan Schore, Ph.D., evolves his interpersonal neurobiological paradigm of Right Brain Psychotherapy to the next level of nuanced refinement…. You would not be in your ‘right mind’ were you to pass up this opportunity to evolve to your own next level by immersing yourself in the magic of Schore’s seamless integration of left-brain neuroscientific theory and right-brain clinical practice.”

— Martha Stark, MD, Faculty, Harvard Medical School

“Allan Schore is one of the leading figures in the brain-based understanding of psychotherapy today. This book is an outstanding work on the topic of the importance of the right hemisphere in attachment, in trauma, and in the establishment of the emotionally mature human individual, by its greatest theoretician. It is both humane and scientific, of practical import, and intellectually stimulating.”

— Iain McGilchrist, MA (Oxon), MB, FRCPsych, FRSA; Author of The Master and His Emissary

Dr. Schore’s recent book, The Development of the Unconscious Mind is now available.

“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

“Over the last three decades, Dr. Allan Schore’s vast body of ‘disruptive’ research publications has significantly contributed to the current paradigm change in the world of mental health…I recommend to all mental health professionals the challenge to immerse themselves in these two books, a contribution and gift from a pioneer clinician-scientist…Dr. Schore’s work…has pushed beyond the limits, unconstrained by conventional expectations, to redefine basic assumptions in mental health and dared to engage with the ever-changing world of neuroscience informing psychotherapy, in both directions.”

— George Halasz, Australasian Psychiatry, 2019
