| | | APSA_NY12-302 | | Research Symposium: Parental Mentalizing in Action: Verbal and Embodied Parental Mentalizing in Theory and Clinical Practice Speakers: Dana Shai, PhD (Herzliya, Israel); Arietta Slade, PhD (New York, NY); Nancy E. Suchman, PhD (New Haven, CT); Mary Target, PhD (London, England); Robert J. Waldinger, MD (West Newton, MA) Parental mentalizing is a significant factor shaping the infant’s socio-emotional development and is the focus of this symposium. Two papers focus on intervention programs designed to enhance parental mentalizing in high risk families — Minding the Baby and Mothering from the Inside Out, including results of randomized controlled trial studies demonstrating the efficacy of these interventions. The third paper will introduce Parental Embodied Mentalization — a method of observational assessment involving the scrutiny of the whole-body nonverbal interactive process between mothers and infants that predicts attachment security. This session explores how parental mentalizing can enhance children’s socio-emotional wellbeing. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
