Summary

The Handbook of Mentalization-Based Treatment consolidates a decade of pioneering research on mentalization — the capacity to understand behaviour in terms of mental states like beliefs, desires, and feelings. This comprehensive volume gathers international experts to clarify the concept, review neurobiological and psychosocial findings, and showcase diverse clinical applications. Organised into four sections—Conceptual Foundations, Developmental Psychopathology, Intervention, and Prevention—the book employs a biopsychosocial framework blending neuroimaging insights with psychodynamic and cognitive approaches. It addresses clinical topics including parent–child interactions, personality disorders, traumatic brain injury, bullying, and support for at-risk children.
