Description
Mentalization-Based Treatment with Families by Eia Asen and Peter Fonagy is a comprehensive guide to working with families in clinical practice. This innovative book offers practical therapeutic strategies and in-depth case illustrations, drawing on the empirically supported mentalization-based treatment (MBT) model and systemic concepts. The authors provide guidance on setting up sessions, engaging clients, addressing emotional and behavioral difficulties, and implementing playful activities to equip family members to change problematic relationship patterns. By gaining a deeper understanding of each other's experiences and points of view, parents, children, and adolescents can overcome blocks in their relationships and develop more effective communication. This book is an invaluable resource for mental health professionals, social workers, and anyone working with families.
