%X This article attempts to bridge two seemingly different and yet related worlds, the intra-psychic and the interpersonal, by viewing systemic practice(s) through a mentalization-based lens. 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.
