How Sure Is Schore?

Abstract Allan Schore's book, Affect Regulation and the Origin of the Self(1994), offers a basis in brain functioning for specific aspects of psychological and developmental theory. Schore has a tendency to draw broad conclusions which often step beyond the actual neuroscien-tific evidence. The result is a reductionistic overview of many aspects of early development, including sexuality and gender. This overstating of conclusions may lead some to believe that there is actual scientific proof to support Schore's conclusions. In reality the data has yet to be proven by basic neuroscience research. As neuroscientists continue to increase our knowledge about how the brain processes emotional and social information, a deeper understanding of biological bases of our psychological functioning will gradually emerge.
