Allan N. Schore (born February 20, 1943 in New York ) is an American psychologist . He is professor of psychiatry and bio-behavioral science at the University of California, Los Angeles .

Life

Schore was the son of an engineer and a housewife. He graduated from high school in 1960 and began studying at the University of Rochester. It was there that his interest in psychology was aroused. He then began a graduate course at the University of Pittsburgh , which he completed in 1970 with a dissertation on "The Effect of Various Cognitive Sets on Cognitive Tasks". There he met his future wife Judy. With his dissertation he also began training at the Pittsburgh Child Guidance Clinic, where he tested children psychologically. He later did an internship at the Detroit Lafayett Clinic. He later attended the lectures of Humberto Nagera, who taught at the Hampstead Clinic and was a protege of Anna Freud .

Until 1980 he was chief psychologist of the Kaisers Permanent Medical Group, where he worked in the neuropsychiatric department. In 1980 he left this position and opened a private practice. During this time he also completed a psychoanalysis. In another ten years he deepened his studies in private. In 1990 he began to write his first publications in psychological and psychoanalytic journals. These writings dealt with the reintegration of neuroscience into psychoanalysis. In 1994 his seminal book “Affect Regulation and the Origin of the Self: The Neurobiology of Emotional Development” was published. Since 1996 he has been a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles .

Research focus

His research into early childhood emotional development and the implications of this development for mental health have had a major impact on modern neuropsychology and psychoanalysis . In doing so, he takes up developments that come from different research directions. It combines findings from infant and toddler research , neurobiology , attachment research and the development of the self .

In his work Schore shows that there are connections between the field of psychological research on attachment and interaction and the field of neurobiology. Both disciplines complement each other and lead to a broader view of human emotional development. His research has led to new insights, especially in the field of psychoanalysis and neuropsychoanalysis . On the basis of new findings in this area, Schore shows how future psychotherapeutic concepts can be optimized on the basis of interdisciplinary research.
