Description

Mentalizing in Arts Therapies by Marianne Verfaille explores the connection between arts therapies and mentalization-based treatment. This book builds upon the theory of Mentalization Based Treatment, developed by Antony Bateman and Peter Fonagy, to describe how therapeutic art, music, and dance interventions can support individuals with mental health issues. Mentalization is a fundamental human ability that enables us to reflect on our thoughts and feelings, differentiate them from others' perspectives, and establish a sense of self. However, grasping the significance of mentalization can be complex. This book offers a comprehensive approach to arts therapies in psychiatric settings, combining the expertise of art therapists with music and dance/movement therapy. By applying mentalization-based principles to arts therapies, this book provides a unique framework for supporting individuals with disorganized attachment, adults, and adolescents in both individual and group settings.
