It is not the copy of record. abstract: Mentalizing-the capacity to understand others' and one's own behavior in terms of mental states-is a defining human social and psychological achievement. It involves a complex and demanding spectrum of capacities that are susceptible to different strengths, weakness, and failings; personality disorders are often associated with severe and consistent mentalizing difficulties (Fonagy & Bateman, 2008). In this article, we will argue for the role of mentalizing in the therapeutic relationship, suggesting that although mentalization-based treatment may be a specific and particular form of practice, the "mentalizing therapist" is a universal constituent of effective psychotherapeutic interventions. date: 2014-04-28 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/a0036505 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: JOURNAL ARTICLE verified: verified_manual elements_source: PubMed elements_id: 943859 doi: 10.1037/a0036505 pii: 2014-14624-001 language_elements: ENG lyricists_name: Allison, Elizabeth lyricists_name: Booker, Thomas lyricists_name: Fonagy, Peter lyricists_id: EALLI20 lyricists_id: BOOKE79 lyricists_id: PFONA04 full_text_status: public publication: Psychotherapy issn: 0033-3204 citation: Fonagy, P; Allison, E; (2014) The role of mentalizing and epistemic trust in the therapeutic relationship.
