Childhood has long been recognized as a developmental process. This
book examines parenting through a similar lens,
offering mental health providers a mentalizing framework for
working with parents at all stages of parental development.
Parenting is a developmental process that fluctuates and transforms
throughout the lifespan. To support working with parents, the
authors present a mentalizing approach that considers the current
socio-cultural environment and its impact on the
developmental process of parenting. This approach integrates a
wealth of psychodynamic clinical research, theory, and practice.
This book provides the reader with principles to inform evaluation,
formulation, and treatment in their work with parents. It provides
clinical examples followed by clinical formulations offering
illustrations of the application of one approach to diverse
clinical challenges in the context of working with parents,
grandparents, and other caregivers.
This book, now available in paperback, is the first
comprehensive clinical introduction to using Mentalization-based
treatment (MBT) with children, 5-12 years old, who experience
emotional and behavioral problems including anxiety, depression,
and relational difficulties. Mentalization--based treatment (MBT)
promotes clients’ ability to interpret the meaning of others’
behavior by considering their underlying mental states and
intentions, as well as clients’ capacity to understand the impact
of their own behaviors on others. Written by an international
team of clinician--researchers who are pioneering the MBT model
with children, the authors begin by exploring the significance of
mentalization and then devote the core chapters to the process of
conducting short-term (9--12 sessions) MBT for children, including
problem assessment and case formulation in terms of mentalizing
techniques, the therapist’s stance, and treatment termination.
The approach draws on traditional psychodynamic principles, but
integrates them with findings from attachment theory, the empirical
study of mentalization, and features of other evidence--based
approaches. This book includes a chapter-length case illustration
and an appendix that lists measures of reflective functioning in
children and their parents, as well as validation articles.Â
The authors of this volume investigate the role of emotion in the
development and maintenance of psychological problems, and in
effecting psychological change. They examine emotion as it is
conceptualized and used in three of the most widely practiced
approaches today--psychodynamic, cognitive behavior, and
emotion-focused psychotherapy. In each chapter, the authors discuss
the impact of emotion on child development and learning, the
relationship between emotion and motivation, and the ways in which
emotion can be harnessed in treatment to improve psychological
functioning and strengthen interpersonal relationships. Clinical
vignettes show readers how to arouse, identify, and channel
emotions in therapy, while also utilizing emotion to develop and
maintain an effective therapeutic alliance.
