"I recommend this book for readers who enjoy reading about new
therapeutic endeavors and the creative re-invention of accepted
psychodynamic concepts—in this instance, the concept of
mentalization."- Saralea Chazan, Journal of Infant, Child and
Adolescent Psychotherapy, June 2013"The book is imbued with respect
for different treatment approaches and persepctives but also for
the complexity that often characterizes clinical and preventative
work. In the projects described the interventions are often
combined with research. This is especially inspiring and makes the
book even more valuable. It will be important for researchers and
clinicians for a long time to come, as a source of both knowledge
and inspiration. In a teaching context the book has a broad area of
use. It can be used on specialist courses but can also inspire
young people, at the beginning of their careers, to work in this
field."- Jan - Olov Karlsson, Psychotherapy Research, May 2013"This
book, which is well argued and illustrated with coherent clinical
material, will give readers new to the field a good insight into a
developing body of work." - Eileen Aird, Therapy Today, July
2012"There is much of interest here to the child psychotherapist
working with children and adolescents whose limited capacity to
tolerate anxiety and frustration gets in the way of thinking and
relating... The book is well edited by Nick Midgley and Ioanna
Vrouva, with individual chapters referring to each other and
building up to a carefully crafted whole." - Neil Austin, ACP
Bulletin, Winter 2012Contributions from an impressive list of the
key international researchers in this field. The book is written
and edited in a style that constantly flows between theoretical
understanding and practice, across different types of problems and
settings. Even if practitioners use different approaches (which, in
any case, are considered as complementary by several participating
authors), they will gain interesting techniques in engaging,
assessing and treating young people and families who have not
responded to mainstream programmes. They can also use those to
challenge and influence community, school and hospital systems; and
also their own multidisciplinary team working, as presented in the
final part of the manuscript. - Panos Vostanis, Child Adolescent
Mental Health, 2013I found this book to be powerful and thought
provoking, to the extent that it pervaded my everyday thinking. ...
In the book, MBT is considered a useful tool for all
psychotherapists and counsellors working with people of all ages,
but it promotes its greatest value as being to those working wih
children and their families. Teachers might also find this book
useful, especially the chapter on the Peaceful Schools Experiment.
I found this book interesting and intriguing. The text is quite
academic and would therefore be useful to students of psychology.
It took me a while to digest some of the ideas held within it, but
I felt it was worth the effort. - Judith Sonnenberg, BACP Children
& Young Persons, March 2013Minding the Child is a considered and
diligent book, thoughtfully recording the crystallisation of
mentalization-based theory and practice based on the work of
Fonagy, Bateman, Allen and other colleagues who form the
'Mentalizing Mafiosi'. ... This interesting and thought-provoking
book will, I am sure, fuel further thinking as to how flexible and
adaptive the child psychotherapist working in CAMHS setting needs
to be, especially in such challenging times as these. - Peter
Slater, Journal of Child Psychotherapy, Vol. 39 No. 1 2013This book
offers insight that will be of value to a wide range of
practitioners working with children and young people. I found
myself underlining numerous sentences and passages that capture the
essence of complex ideas with great clarity and then, as I read
further, returning to them and finding new depth in them. ... This
is a book that anyone with an interest in what enables us to
function as relational beings in a social world will find value in.
It is also one that stands re-reading as it challenges the reader
to reflect on the ideas and evidence it presents. - Roger
