Summary:

Mentalizing is the ability to recognize and understand our own and others' thoughts and feelings. This book collects recent work on mentalizing as a psychological process and describes the use of mentalizing in treatment of various psychiatric and psychological disorders, especially personality disorders. The book follows the authors' two previous works in their ongoing attempt to establish mentalizing as a developmental and clinical concept. Bateman, a consultant psychiatrist in psychotherapy at St. Ann's Hospital, UK, and Fonagy (psychoanalysis, U. College London) describe the use of mentalization-based treatment (MBT), which sits in the middle of the spectrum between psychodynamic and cognitive therapy, as a support to other treatment approaches. In the first part of the book, the authors explain the mentalizing perspective and show how it can be used in outpatient, hospital, and inpatient facilities. In part 2, specific applications are described in work with borderline and antisocial personality disorder, at-risk mothers, drug addiction, and adolescent breakdown.
