Thematik

Mentalization is the ability to form a picture of what is going on in another person’s mind. This ability is essential for social interactions. In a significant proportion of psychiatric illnesses, this basic human skill does not function properly. The aim of the course is to systematically review the mentalization deficits in psychiatric disorders.
