Summary

Affect Regulation Theory by Daniel Hill explores the science behind how humans regulate emotions, forming the foundation of all psychotherapies. Drawing from attachment theory, developmental trauma, and neurobiology, Hill offers a clear and practical clinical synthesis of affect regulation. The book is structured around four key domains: the bodymind concept, development of affect regulation via secure attachments, origins of disordered regulation through trauma, and therapeutic strategies to repair these systems. It covers topics such as attachment, self states, mentalization, personality disorders, and therapeutic attunement, providing clinicians with a comprehensive model to understand and treat affect regulation deficits.

This book is well suited for psychotherapists, clinicians, researchers, and students interested in psychotherapy, emotion regulation, attachment theory, and neurobiology. It serves both as a theoretical foundation and a practical guide for mental health professionals aiming to deepen their understanding of affect regulation in clinical settings.

Drawing on attachment, developmental trauma, implicit processes and neurobiology, major theorists from Allan Schore to Daniel Stern have argued how and why regulated affect, or emotion, is key to our optimal functioning. This book translates the intricacies of the theory into a cogent clinical synthesis.

Description

Affect regulation theory—the science of how humans regulate their emotions—is at the root of all psychotherapies. Drawing on attachment, developmental trauma, implicit processes, and neurobiology, major theorists from Allan Schore to Daniel Stern have argued how and why regulated affect is key to our optimal functioning. This book translates the intricacies of the theory into a cogent clinical synthesis.

With clarity and practicality, Hill decodes the massive body of contemporary research on affect regulation, offering a comprehensible and ready-to-implement model for conducting affect regulation therapy.

The book is organized around the four domains of a clinical model: (1) a theory of bodymind; (2) a theory of optimal development of affect regulation in secure attachment relationships; (3) a theory of pathogenesis, in which disordered affect regulation originates in relational trauma and insecure attachment relationships; and (4) a theory of therapeutic actions targeted to repair the affect regulating systems.

The key themes of Hill's affect-focused approach include: how and why different patterns of affect regulation develop; how regulatory patterns are transmitted from caretakers to the infants; what adaptive and maladaptive regulatory patterns look like neurobiologically, psychologically, and relationally; how deficits in affect regulation manifest as psychiatric symptoms and personality disorders; and ultimately, the means by which regulatory deficits can be repaired. Specific chapters explore such subjects as self states, mentalization, classical and modern attachment theory, relational trauma (and its manifestations in chronic dissociation, personality disorders, and pervasive dissociated shame), supporting self-development in therapy, patient–therapist attunement, implicit and explicit therapeutic actions, and many more.
