The theory of mentalizing and epistemic trust introduced by Peter Fonagy and colleagues at the Anna Freud Centre has been an important perspective on mental health and illness. Mentalizing and Epistemic Trust is the first comprehensive account and evaluation of this perspective. The book explores twenty primary concepts that organize the contributions of Fonagy and colleagues: adaptation aggression the alien self culture disorganized attachment epistemic trust hypermentalizing reflective function the P factor pretend mode the primary unconscious psychic equivalence mental illness mentalizing mentalization - based therapy non - mentalizing the self sexuality the social environment and teleological mode. The biographical and social context of the development of these ideas is examined. The book also specifies the current strengths and limitations of the theory of mentalizing and epistemic trust with attention to the implications for both clinicians and researchers. This book will be of interest to historians of the human sciences developmental psychologists and clinicians interested in taking a broader perspective on psychological theory and concepts.
