This thesis by Clara Möller explores the concept of mentalizing, which involves understanding oneself and others through mental states such as thoughts and feelings. The research examines mentalizing within various contexts, including attachment theory and therapeutic settings. The studies highlight the Reflective Functioning (RF) scale as a measurement tool for assessing mentalizing abilities. Key findings indicate that mentalizing may serve as a protective factor against criminal behavior and is closely related to parental emotional availability. The research also investigates mentalizing in therapy sessions for borderline personality disorder and depression, suggesting that dyadic mentalizing can influence therapeutic outcomes. The thesis emphasizes the context-specific nature of mentalizing and the need for further research on implicit mentalizing processes. It is intended for an academic audience, particularly those in psychology and behavioral sciences.

Mentalization--the effort to make sense of our own and others' actions, behavior, and internal states--is something we all do. And it is a capacity that all psychotherapies aim to improve: the better we are at mentalizing, the more resilient and flexible we tend to be. This concise, engaging book offers a brief overview of mentalization in psychotherapy, focusing on how to help patients understand and reflect on their emotional experiences. Elliot Jurist integrates cognitive science research and psychoanalytic theory to break down "mentalized affectivity" into discrete processes that therapists can cultivate in session. The book interweaves clinical vignettes with discussions of memoirs by comedian Sarah Silverman, poet Tracy Smith, filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, and neurologist Oliver Sacks. --

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.

"Mentalizing in Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy explains how mentalization-based therapy (MBT) can be used within the framework of depth psychology and analytical psychotherapies. Josef Brockmann, Holger Kirsch, and Svenja Taubner explain the outstanding importance of mentalizing for contemporary psychoanalysis and assess the essential conceptual innovations of mentalizing, focusing on outpatient individual therapies for patients with personality disorders. The book demonstrates the high connectivity of mentalizing to psychoanalysis and considers the further development of the concept of mentalizing. A practical and research-oriented work, the book documents numerous case studies, and detailed transcripts of treatment dialogs supplemented by extensive commentary to illustrate the practical application of mentalizing. Mentalizing in Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists in training and in practice who are looking to integrate mentalizing into their work"--
