Making Sense of Feelings Through Early Recollections with Dinko Aleksandrov

Part of the CAPS virtual 2020 Adlerian Summit

This presentation covers a variety of functions and purposes of human emotions. Why do we feel? What do feelings mean? What can we do about them if we don’t like them? One very effective way for understanding the subjective emotional tone embedded in people’s experiences is using Early Recollections. This workshop will review empirical evidence from cognitive psychology and neuroscience shedding light on memory processes involved in Early Recollections. Applications for clinical practice will also be addressed.
