It is vital used(in) the context of the reflexive, deconstructionist, nonpathologizing worldview. (Freedman & Combs, 1996)

En bio-psyko-social tilgang, biologisk information Biologien viser os også, at vi kan udvide vores kognitive område. Det sker gennem ny erfaring, frembragt gennem ræssoneren, gennem mødet med en fremmed, eller mere direkte gennem en oplevelse af en biologisk, interpersonel overensstemmelse, som lader os se den anden person og åbner for ham eller hende et eksistensrum ved siden af os selv. Denne handling kaldes kærlighed, eller hvis vi foretrækker et mildere udryk, accepten af den anden person ved siden af os selv i det daglige liv (Maturana og Varela, 1987). inden for visse begrænsninger kan der som led i den normale udvikling dannes en biologisk anderledes hjerne ud fra den gensidige påvirkning mellem modningen af spædbarnets nervesystem og omsorgspersonens opdragelsesrepetoire (Conelly og Preeth; Schore, 2006)
Affektregulering handler ikke kun om reduktion af affekt intensitet, dæmpningen af negativ emotion. Det handler også om forstærkelse og intensivering af positiv emotion, en nødvendig betingelse for mere kompleks selvorganisering..regulerende affektive interaktioner med en velkendt, forudsigelig primær omsorgsperson skaber ikke kun en følelse af tryghed, men også en positiv ladet nysgerrighed, der er drivkraften i det fremspirende selvs udforskning af nye og ukendte socioemotionelle og fysiske miljøer. (Schore, 2006, 175-177)
