Mentalization is the capacity to perceive and interpret behavior in
terms of intentional mental states, to imagine what others are
thinking and feeling, and is a concept that has taken the
psychological and psychoanalytic worlds by storm. This collection
of papers, carefully edited by Fredric Busch, clarifies its import
as an essential perspective for understanding the human psyche and
interpersonal relationships. The book is divided into theoretical,
research and clinical papers, reflecting how the investigators
thoughtfully and purposefully pursued each of these goals. Those
involved in identifying mentalization have also made consistent
efforts to measure and research the concept. Thus, in addition to
expanding the theoretical bases and implications of mentalization
and identifying clinically useful applications, the authors
describe research that scientifically grounds the concept.
Mentalization addresses and expands upon a number of implications
of mentalization. These include: What are the broader implications
for mentalization with regard to social and evolutionary
development? How does mentalization interdigitate with other
psychoanalytic models? How is mentalization systematically
assessed? What clinical correlates have been found? How do we
understand variations in the capacity for mentalization, even
within a given individual? What are the applications of
mentalization in the clinical arena, including specific disorders?
Readers of this volume will find their clinical work to be more
productive and their view of the human psyche broadened.
