- Title
"ENTERING THE DEVELOPMENTAL SPIRAL THE WORK OF MICHAEL F. BASCH APPLIED TO CLINICAL SOCIAL WORK.

- Abstract
Entering the developmental spiral through affect attunement reactivates and revitalizes the thrust to continue development when it has been fixated, distorted or derailed. Achieving affect attunement is a vital dimension of the healing process. Basch describes how affect stimulates and controls the ordering and pattern matching function of the brain, motivating behavior and relationships. These theories are examined in selected vignettes illustrating the manner in which we seek to free individuals from stalemate in relationships, destructive behavior or depressive states.
