In October 2004 it was my pleasure to present at a cutting-edge conference entitled The Interplay of Implicit and Explicit Processes in Psychoanalysis. In addition to offering an address (“The Essential Role of the Right Brain in the Implicit Self: Development, Psycho-pathogenesis, and Psychotherapy”), I also provided a commentary to Steven Knoblauch's excellent paper, “Body Rhythms and the Unconscious: Toward an Expanding of Clinical Attention.” In the following, I briefly summarize these presentations, with the purpose of showing how current advances in developmental and neuropsycho-analysis are being incorporated into the practice of clinical psychoanalysis. This work is part of an ongoing effort to expand regulation theory, an overarching theoretical model of the development, psychopathogenesis, and treatment of the implicit self.
