Using Concepts from Interpersonal Neurobiology in Revisiting Psychodynamic Theory.

This article discusses major concepts of developmental theory in terms of their concurrence with neurobiological information. Regulation theory is used to summarize the development and functions of the right hemisphere, the workings of two distinct memory systems, and right-brain involvement in attachment functions. The clinical relevance of interpersonal neurobiology to transference and countertransference is illustrated with a clinical case example. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
