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.
