Mentalization in the Family: A Guide for Professionals and Parents
Mentalization in the Family draws upon the latest research on child development, parenting, and mentalization theory to provide a comprehensive guidebook for parents, teachers, social workers, and any professional working with families today.
The book explains the core concepts of mentalization, an idea whereby an appreciation of internal mental states, both those of others and oneself, can lead to an understanding of overt behaviour. It explores key ideas central to this – such as attachment style, internal regulation, emotional compass, and parental navigation – but also offers practical guidance around issues such as play, siblings, boundaries, and sexuality.
Accessibly written throughout and featuring pedagogical tools that bring the theory into life, this wide-ranging book will be essential reading for a range of professionals, from those working with foster families to teachers working with troubled or disruptive children. It also offers a way for parents to better understand themselves, their own parenting style, and the dynamics which make up family life.

با ترجمه ی کتاب ارتباط نگرفتم، اما در کل نکات خوب و مثبتی درین کتاب گفته شده که می تونه نور راه باشه؛
در کل پیاده کردن سیستم ذهنی سازی بمن این دریافت رو می ده که باید همه چیز رو از بالاتر از وجود خودم نگاه کنم و سعی کنم فکر کنم الان داره تو فکر و ذهن فرزندم و اصولا طرف مقابلم چی می گذره و به چه علت فلان واکنش رو داره؛
اینکه بدونی به عنوان والد، تنظیم پاسخ گو و ذهنی ساز باشی و مثل یک فانوس دریایی راه رو برای کشتی فرزندت هموار کنی
