Mentalizing the Body by Ulrich Schultz-Venrath
Mentalizing the Body brings together theory and practice with the latest neurobiological and developmental psychological findings to understand the relevance of the body in a wide range of mental disorders, especially personality and somatization disorders.“This book is about minding the bodyAnd embodying the mind. The author leads us through the challenging field of psychosomatic disorders and beyond. His clinical and theoretical tool is the model of Mentalizing, expanded to include the body mode as the earliest pre-mentalistic mode. This is an updated psychotherapy based on the historically strong tradition of psychosomatics in Germany, and it is an event when such professional richness now becomes available in English.” - Finn Skårderud, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Agder, Norway.
