Medicine, and at the UCLA Center for Culture, Brain, and
Development. He is the recipient of the American Psychological
Association Division 56: Trauma Psychology "Award for Outstanding

39: Psychoanalysis "Scientific Award in Recognition of Outstanding
Contributions to Research, Theory and Practice of Neuroscience and
Psychoanalysis."He is also an honorary member of the American
Psychoanalytic Association. He is author of nine seminal
volumes, including Affect Regulation and the Origin of the
Self, Affect Dysregulation and Disorders of the Self, and Affect
Regulation and the Repair of the Self, as well as numerous articles
and chapters. His Regulation Theory, grounded in developmental
neuroscience and developmental psychoanalysis, focuses on the
origin, psychopathogenesis, and psychotherapeutic treatment of the
early forming subjective implicit self. His contributions appear in
multiple disciplines, including developmental neuroscience,
psychiatry, psychoanalysis, developmental psychology, attachment
theory, trauma studies, behavioral biology, clinical psychology,
and clinical social work. His groundbreaking integration of
neuroscience with attachment theory has led to his description as
"the American Bowlby" and with psychoanalysis as "the world's
leading expert in neuropsychoanalysis." His books have been
translated into several languages, including Italian, French,
German, and Turkish.
"What makes this book stand out from others of its kind is the
clinical dialogue interwoven with neurobiological commentary. This
allows readers to be easily guided through complex neurobiological
concepts, as well as clinical narrative. . . . [A]nyone interested
in the application of neurobiological principles to psychotherapy
will find this useful."
