I think this might be of interest to people. Drew Pinsky interviews Allan Schore about the latest research into attachment, the role of the right brain in therapy, and more:

Thanks for the link. I haven't listened to the podcast yet but I will.

I am familiar with Alan Schore's research and I attended his live presentation once during my internship.

There has been a lot of fascinating studies done in neuroscience for the last couple of decades and some even before that. The problem is that, unfortunately, those great discoveries don't bring any significant changes to the practice of psychotherapy. Professionals are aware of the new data but they do nothing about it. They still continue to practice using outdated theories and methods.

I'm sure it takes a while for this stuff to trickle down in the best of circumstances, but people get stuck in their ways, even when they aren't working, therapists included. I feel fortunate that my therapist's approach is more in line with what Schore discusses, but if he wasn't, I might shop around.

Yes Schore's work is very interesting, have read some of his papers. Some of it reminds me of Winnicott who is under recognised these days.
