Description
Book SynopsisThis book is the first comprehensive clinical introduction to using Mentalization-based treatment (MBT) with children, 5-12 years old.
Trade ReviewFor those readers whose time is limited, allow me to simplify this review: this book is the best manualized therapy book I have ever read. You should stop reading this review and start reading the actual book. * Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry *
Mentalization-Based Treatment for Children succinctly and systematically elucidates therapeutic concepts, principles, and interventions within a psychodynamic framework highly relevant to clinicians, researchers, and students of psychology. * PsycCRITIQUES *
