Mentalizing in Arts Therapies by Marianne Verfaille (English) Paperback Book

Description: Mentalizing in Arts Therapies by Marianne Verfaille First published in Dutch in 2011 as Mentaliseren in beeldende vaktherapie by Garant Pulishers, Antwerp-Apeldoorn. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book describes the use of therapeutic art, music, and dance interventions against a background of mentalization, thus forging a link between arts therapies and mentalization-based treatment. This book has its roots in the theory of Mentalization Based Treatment by Antony Bateman and Peter Fonagy, and combines the broad experience of many art therapists with art, music and dance/movement therapy in psychiatric settings in the treatment of adults and adolescents both individually and in groups, as well as children with disorganised attachment. As a treatment concept, mentalization is quite straightforward because mentalizing is a typically human ability. As Bateman and Fonagy (2012) say: "Without mentalizing there can be no robust sense of self, no constructive social interaction, no mutuality in relationships, and no sense of personal security". On the other hand, it is not so simple to fully grasp the significance of mentalization. Mentalization-based therapy is a specific type of psychotherapy designed to help people reflect on their own thoughts and feelings and differentiate them from the perspectives of others. Author Biography Marianne Verfaille Review Art therapy is arguably the most fertile area of application for mentalization based techniques. This book is the fi rst comprehensive introduction to this area and deserves to become a classic.- Peter Fonagy, Freud Memorial Professor of Psychoanalysis and Head of the Research Department of Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology, UCL; Chief Executive, Anna Freud Centre, LondonWith a delightfully light touch, Marianne Verfaille deftly circumscribes the mentalization informed approach to arts therapy praxis she has developed with her colleagues. She vibrantly illustrates the art of mentalizing while bringing professional clarity and vigour to the arts therapies. The result is a joyful and compassionate testimony to the significance and efficacy of the arts therapies with contemporary clinical populations.- Ruth E. Jones, psychotherapist, author of Foreshoring the Unconscious: Living Psychoanalytic Practice and co-editor of Psychodynamic Art Therapy Practice with People on the Autistic SpectrumMarianne Verfaille and colleagues have written a book that will appeal to all expressive therapists. Every major theoretical point comes alive through detailed clinical examples illustrated by rich images, all of which will help expressive arts therapists fully integrate the process of mentalization.- Lisa D. Hinz, PhD, ATR clinical psychologist and art therapist, author of Drawing from Within: Using Art to Treat Eating Disorders, and Expressive Therapies Continuum: A Framework for Using Art in Therapy Long Description This book describes the use of therapeutic art, music, and dance interventions against a background of mentalization, thus forging a link between arts therapies and mentalization-based treatment.This book has its roots in the theory of Mentalization Based Treatment by Antony Bateman and Peter Fonagy, and combines the broad experience of many art therapists with art, music and dance/movement therapy in psychiatric settings in the treatment of adults and adolescents both individually and in groups, as well as children with disorganised attachment.As a treatment concept, mentalization is quite straightforward because mentalizing is a typically human ability.

On the other hand, it is not so simple to fully grasp the significance of mentalization. Mentalization-based therapy is a specific type of psychotherapy designed to help people reflect on their own thoughts and feelings and differentiate them from the perspectives of others. This explicit verbal form of mentalization is preceded by an earlier, more fragile stage of implicit interactive affect regulation as the mind opens up to mentalization. Physically dealing with art mediums, movements or musical sounds is one way of representing this implicit self-regulation. It is an immediate way in which to evaluate thoughts and feelings on nonverbal sensorimotor, perceptual and symbolic levels. When clients work with nonverbal means such as art, movement or music in a way that focuses specifically on affect regulation and mentalization, it gives them an opportunity to grow mentally, even if they have a mild intellectual disability. In this book, the author has attempted to tailor the description of mentalization to the work of arts therapists, and to make it more readily recognisable by her liberal use of image material.
