Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience to better understand emotion.

We are hardwired to connect with one another, and we connect through our emotions. Our brains, bodies, and minds are inseparable from the emotions that animate them.

Normal human development relies on the cultivation of relationships with others to form and nurture the self-regulatory circuits that enable emotion to enrich, rather than enslave, our lives. And just as emotionally traumatic events can tear apart the fabric of family and psyche, the emotions can become powerful catalysts for the transformations that are at the heart of the healing process.

In this book, the latest addition to the Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology, leading neuroscientists, developmental psychologists, therapy researchers, and clinicians illuminate how to regulate emotion in a healthy way. A variety of emotions, both positive and negative, are examined in detail, drawing on both research and clinical observations. The role of emotion in bodily regulation, dyadic connection, marital communication, play, well-being, health, creativity, and social engagement is explored. The Healing Power of Emotion offers fresh, exciting, original, and groundbreaking work from the leading figures studying and working with emotion today.

Contributors include: Jaak Panksepp, Stephen W. Porges, Colwyn Trevarthen, Ed Tronick, Allan N. Schore, Daniel J. Siegel, Diana Fosha, Pat Ogden, Marion F. Solomon, Susan Johnson, and Dan Hughes.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This book―the fruit of a dialogue among eminent neuroscientists, clinicians, attachment researchers, and body workers―achieves a level of integration among these various disciplines that has not been seen before. A magisterial achievement!”
- Bessel van der Kolk, MD, The Trauma Center, Boston, MA

“A masterful panoramic view of emotion. This is an important and superbly done book, especially strong in balancing the clinical with the scientific.”
- Daniel N. Stern, MD, Honorary Professor of Psychology, University of Geneva, author, The Present Moment in Psychotherapy and Everyday Life

“It is gratifying to see this important new volume direct a long-overdue spotlight on the essential element of emotional change in psychotherapy. This volume provides information on neurophysiology, phenomenology, and interactive dynamics that can benefit clinicians of all orientations.”
- Francine Shapiro, PhD, Senior Research Fellow, Mental Research Institute, Palo Alto, California, and Executive Director, the EMDR Institute, Watsonville, CA

“Imagine that some of most brilliant, neuroscientific contributors to our understanding of emotion and brain development, teamed up with some of the most knowledgeable, creative psychotherapists alive, and really listened to, and learned to understand each other’s work. The result is this essential, palpably exciting, at times profound volume, which shows how to use brain-based insights, and inevitable emotions themselves, to foster mental healing.”
- Norman Doidge, MD, author, The Brain That Changes Itself

The Healing Power of Emotion:Affecetive Neuroscience,Development and Clinical Practice Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiolo

April 27, 2010

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is far and away the most integrated, substantiated,and thoughtful book I have read about human behavior in years. After DSM111 was introduced we as clinicians learned to look at a symptom in a clinical way. Sadly, many symptoms are shared between diagnostic catagories. We wanted something that would be clear, bridge the gap between the behaviorists, analysts, jungians and family systems. It was useful, especially to the insurance companiies but also clinicians who had to look thoughtfully at the symptom picture. What I found lacking was the integration I find in The Healing Power of Emotions:Affective Neuroscience, Development and Clinican Practice. It emphasizes the interpersonal impact beautifully. It is extremely well written, each chapter striking a different tone but in its whole helps us look at people as they really are, complex, not a mere balance of letters and numbers. It reads beautifully and each of the authors is well known and respected in their field. A real find! Its emphasis on attachment and emotion is critical as we look at people dealing with sexual abuse, trauma, and our troops coming home with a different persective. Our colleague group is taking one chapter at a time to discuss when we are finished with our 'emergent' clinical issues. Reading it together gives us other eyes to see through and makes for a tremendous session on critical thinking! Katharine A Lofgren, LICSW NH

The Primacy of Affect and the Significance of Subcortical Structures

March 24, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book is not simply about emotion. It is about the primacy of affect (emotion) and its relationship to the development of psychopathology. The key factor for me was the conclusion that emotional insight must occur prior to intellectual insight. My understanding is that the cognitive paradigm has it exactly in the reverse. In other words, that intellectual insight must occur prior to emotional insight. I believe that this distinction is relevant, in part, because the literature and research presented in this book appears to be a response to the "black-box" approach of cognitive-behavioral theories. These theories propose that emotional disorders can be rationally displaced by higher order emotions simply by "willing" or replacing one thought with another. Without considering the inter-relationship of brain functioning with clinical interventions, it's very possible that the clinician will ignore pre-verbal aspects of personality. McGilchrist writes in, "The Master and His Emissary", that "For us as humans there are two fundamentally opposed realities, two different modes of experience; that each is of ultimate importance in bringing about the recognition of the human world; and that their difference is rooted in the bi-hemispheric structure of the brain. It follows that the hemispheres need to co-operate, but I believe they are in fact involved in a sort of power struggle" (McGilchrist,2009, p.3). The struggle for dominance is what, "The Healing Power of Emotion", describes from an neuro-scientific and operational point of view. If you have assumed that text books are all dry and boring, I invite you to think again. The healing invoked, in "The Healing Power of Emotion", is in its emphasis on the "human" in "human communication. From a phenomenological point of view, "Social Engagement Behaviors" described by Fosha, Siegel, and Solomon require an ability to "inhibit defense systems (by the social engagement system") in order for satisfying reciprocal interaction to occur. At last, past, present, and future co-mingle in this remarkable series of studies on the brain, the mind, the personality, and its need for harmony and coherence in the sub-cortical arena.

Comprehensive piece of work that inspires us in the field of therapy to remain alert, aware, attuned to the clinical experience and inter subjective world between client and therapist, especially when cognitive behavioral approaches seem to have more popularity and influence in the culture of today. It brings all the best and the latest work in the field of neuroscience and psychotherapy together into an integrated body of profound insights and applications.

cutting edge and enjoyable read

December 22, 2009

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This work is absolutely the cutting edge interface of neuroscience and clinical practice. Each chapter is a lucid blend of emotionally and intellectually accessible presentations by pioneers in the field of the clinical applications of developmental neuroscience. The entirety of the work holds together as a composition of hope and promise for the science of the art of healing.

Though current and sometimes applicable, I found it challenging to read at times--very good data, but if you're not readily familiar with the brain structures being discussed, understanding the applicability of the science was a stretch. I would have liked some concrete examples of how to use the research in a therapeutic setting.

If you can buy just one book - make it this one.

December 22, 2009

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I loved this book. It is an extraordinary 5 star buffet of articles by cutting edge neurobiology researchers and psychotherapy clinicians, a who's who in the field. Both the articles on the brain and psychotherapy are consumately well written, and clinical articles have great case illustrations. The psychotherapies described here are moving beyond exploration of pathologies to the transformative experiences where joy, new energy, and delight become possible; that and helping people regulate their dysregulated nervous system. This book is a weaving together of two disciplines that demonstrate what this new frontier looks like. If you have one book to buy --- make it this one. Judi Goodman, LICSW
