Relationship Between Psychoanalysis, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Research and Neuroscience
Virtual
Zoom
Conference Description:
Emotion schemas are relevant to clinicians and affective neuroscience researchers, but it has been a challenge to connect the biology to clinical process. Clinicians access emotion schemas through the refraction of psychoanalytic models. Affective neuroscience offers the neurobiological basis for emotion schemas through basic emotion systems. Needed is a methodology that can observe and monitor changes in the emotion schemas that emerge and transform over the course of development and in psychotherapy. This presentation explores the connections between affective neuroscience, those aspects of personality that are termed emotion schemas, and a systematic method for accessing and monitoring the changes in emotion schemas over the course of psychotherapy.
Learning Objectives:
- Demonstrate a method to study emotion schemas from clinical and affective neuroscience perspectives.
- Using basic emotion systems, apply the concept of emotion schemas in therapy as they are aroused, articulated and processed.
- Acquire a new lens for viewing psychoanalytic/dynamic psychotherapy process.
- Use emotion schemas and referential activity to improve clinical acumen and follow the process of change.
