Steven Krugman, Ph.D. and Nancy Lundy, Ed.D., instructors
This is the first of a two part
program designed by Anthony Bateman and colleagues at the Anna Freud Centre in
London to teach mentalization treatment skills to clinicians.
This program offers clinicians at all
levels an opportunity to learn about mentalization as a developmental
phenomenon and cognitive capacity and to understand its key role in emotional
and social intelligence. Participants will explore the concept and related
ideas (.e.g. empathy, theory of mind, mindfulness). The psychological
development of mentalizing as a cognitive function will be examined,
particularly in its relation to neurobiology, attachment, affect regulation and
personality development. Mentalization as a factor in anxiety and trauma,
personality disorders and depression will be discussed. Part I
can be taken as a complete program or as an introduction to the two part
series.
Upon completion of the program the student will be able to:
·
Explain what mentalizing is and how it develops
· Implement a mentalizing stance with patients
· Recognize nonmentalizing and consider approaches to restore mentalizing
