A classic in the field of psychoanalytic literature, and winner of
the 2003 Gradiva Award. Arguing for the importance of attachment and
emotionality in the developing human consciousness, four prominent
analysts explore and refine the concepts of mentalization and affect
regulation. Their bold, energetic, and encouraging vision for
psychoanalytic treatment combines elements of developmental
psychology, attachment theory, and psychoanalytic technique. Drawing
extensively on case studies and recent analytic literature to
illustrate their ideas, Fonagy, Gergely, Jurist, and Target offer
models of psychotherapy practice that can enable the gradual
development of mentalization and affect regulation even in patients
with long histories of violence or neglect.
