Psychotherapy is undergoing a quiet revolution.  Increasingly, affect is being recognized as the central organizing force of mental life. In this timely and compelling lecture, distinguished author, scholar, and clinician Dr. Daniel Hill draws from his sequel to the acclaimed Affect Regulation Theory to deepen our understanding of how affect organizes the mind—and how we engage it in clinical practice. Building on the work of Damasio, Fonagy, Schore, and others, as well as his own influential contributions, Dr. Hill will examine the nature and regulation of affect, present a neuroscience-informed model of implicit and explicit mental processes, and show how these systems generate starkly different subjective realities. He will also discuss the centrality of affect in intersubjective relating, agency, and continuous self development.  This webinar offers essential insight into the affective foundations of psychic life—and a powerful lens through which to view psychoanalysis as a dynamic, evolving discipline responsive to contemporary science and clinical need.
