It is argued that in therapy there needs to be a deliberate, conscious and consistent focus on mentalizing. The emerging mentalization-based therapy for families is an innovative approach and a distinctive model which is systemic in essence, deriving its ideas and practices from a variety of diverse systemic approaches, yet enriching family work by adding mentalizing ingredients.}, keywords = {Mentalization based psychotherapy, mentalization based family therapy}, author = {Asen, E and Fonagy, P} }
