Allan N. Schore, Right-Brain Affect Regulation, 

On page 135, the author quotes Nathanson, who says that "[t]he entire system of psychotherapy, as we had been taught it, worked only if we overlooked the shame that we produced day in and day out in our therapeutic work..." But this totally contradicts what Schore says on p. 128: "the right hemisphere is dominant in treatment, and ... psychotherapy is not the 'talking cure' but the affect communicating and regulating cure." This claim is neither factual nor is it even an ideal among an overwhelming number of therapists, given the preponderance of behaviorist approaches (a left hemisphere "cure" predicated on animal psychology) in the field, approaches doomed to fail in terms of right-brain affect regulation. Schore has a lot of useful insights to offer, but there are times when he isn't sufficiently careful.
