[Moving The Self]

Allan Schore and his "Allan Schore group" are promoting clinical  
interventions based on human interactions and developmental  
patterns.  Allan Schore cites Irma Dosamantes-Beaudry in his books  
and works with some dance therapists in his seminars.  Of course, his  
two-volumes work is a-must-read (Affect Regulation and the Repair of  
the Self & Affect Dysregulation and Disorders of the Self) and here,   
PsyBC  http://www.psybc.com/library.php?csect=68   showcases some of  
his articles and presentations (and those of his colleagues too).   
Check them out!  Patrizia Pallaro, LCMFT, ADTR
