The Self-Compassion Scale is a Valid and Theoretically Coherent Measure of Self-Compassion
TL;DR: The Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) has been criticized for problems with psychometric validity as discussed by the authors, and the use of an overall selfcompassion score that includes items representing the lack of self-compassion has been called into question.

The Haunted Self: Structural Dissociation and the Treatment of Chronic Traumatization
TL;DR: Based on the theory of structural dissociation of the personality in combination with a Janetian psychology of action, the authors developed a model of phase-oriented treatment that focuses on the identification and treatment of structural disociation and related maladaptive mental and behavioral actions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological sensitivity to context: the interactive effects of stress reactivity and family adversity on socioemotional behavior and school readiness.
TL;DR: The findings corroborate a reconceptualization of stress reactivity as biological sensitivity to context by showing that high reactivity can both hinder and promote adaptive functioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of yoga on the autonomic nervous system, gamma-aminobutyric-acid, and allostasis in epilepsy, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder
TL;DR: According to the proposed theory, the decreased PNS and GABAergic activity that underlies stress-related disorders can be corrected by yoga practices resulting in amelioration of disease symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social engagement and attachment: a phylogenetic perspective.
TL;DR: The model provides a phylogenetic interpretation of the neural mechanisms mediating the behavioral and physiological features associated with stress and several psychiatric disorders.

Orienting in a defensive world: Mammalian modifications of our evolutionary heritage. A Polyvagal Theory
TL;DR: The Polyvagal Theory is introduced to explain the different functions of the two primary medullary source nuclei of the vagus and speculates that mammalian, but not reptilian, brainstem organization is characterized by a ventral vagal complex related to processes associated with attention, motion, emotion, and communication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroendocrine perspectives on social attachment and love
TL;DR: A review of existing behavioral and neuroendocrine perspectives on social attachment and love reveals a recurrent association between high levels of activity in the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis and the subsequent expression of social behaviors and attachments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The organization of noradrenergic pathways from the brainstem to the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei in the rat
TL;DR: The autoradiographic material, and additional double-labeling experiments, were used to identify and to characterize projections that interconnect the A1, A2 and A6 regions, as well as possible projections from these cell groups to the spinal cord.
