"Dr. Schore has been a pioneer in writing about integrative neurobiological models of development . . . . [T]he text is of great value to anyone interested in the theoretical basis underlying attachment and affect regulation. Of particular interest to psychotherapists is that the book explores how psychotherapists’ neurobiology may be altered as a function of the practice of psychotherapy. . . . [O]f value to teachers who want to integrate important findings about current neuroscience into psychotherapy training. Any clinician who believes in the centrality of developmental processes regarding the understanding of adult patients will be riveted by the descriptions of the interdisciplinary data that support our theories of attachment and emotion regulation. . . . I recommend that all psychiatrists become conversant with Dr. Shore’s work.

"One would be hard pressed to find another book so extensively filled with an up-to-date and extensive review of contemporary studies on the affective and neuroscience literature related to psychotherapy and psychoanalysis as this. This work will likely be a major reference source for those interested in understanding the brain-mind-body relationships, particularly in the two-person model, focused on the dissociative process, and the autonomic nervous system concomitants." -- Journal of Analytical Psychology
"I would recommend
The Science of the Art of Psychotherapy to child psychiatry/psychology fellows, psychoanalysts, family therapists, . . . neuroscience majors, psychology students at all levels of training, and any student of attachment therapy.

"[S]chore's contribution continues to be invaluable. He voraciously digests the hard science on our behalf, and shows us over and over again that the evidence is there, and that this really matters.

"Geared towards psychotherapists and scientists, this collection of the latest applicable research and advances in clinical practice creates an enriching centrality between these two realms in the mental health profession.

"Readers familiar with Schore’s previous work will recognize his rigorous and wide-ranging scholarship. This book, like its predecessors, is a thoroughly researched, extensively referenced integration of varied literatures. . . . [T]his is a foundational book, providing a scientific and theoretical basis for scholars and researchers in modern attachment theory, affective neuroscience, and neuropsychiatry.
