Mentalizing, the process of making sense of mental states in oneself and other persons, plays a central role in psychopathology and psychotherapy. The author explicates the concept of mentalizing, highlights some factors critical to its development, and illustrates its clinical applications in the domains of trauma and depression.Keywords
