Mentalizing in Clinical Practice by Jon G Allen

Mentalizing in Clinical Practice by Jon G Allen

The book includes a straightforward explanation clinicians can use with patients, "What is Mentalizing and Why Do It?"and also demonstrates the ways in which clinicians are already doing it. Clinicians of all persuasions can benefit from the extensive knowledge now available to hone further their attention to this vital therapeutic process.

This is an excellent book: well written, theoretically sophisticated but practical, clear, and provocative in its implications for reframing and enhancing treatment for a broad spectrum of disordersThis book is especially useful for those interested in the leading edge in psychotherapy integration; the common-factors approach to understanding psychotherapeutic effectiveness; and the integration of mind, brain, and interpersonal relations. I highly recommend it.

The authors are superb teachers. It is refreshing to read this book that can heighten awareness of nuances in listening to and helping clients grow in recognizing and adapting the formulations of experience that shape their emotional responses.
