Mentalizing levels
3rd January 2013
We can conceive of a series of different LEVELS of mentalizing, in what could be seen as a hierachy, with each
higher
order relying on the presence of
lower
orders before it can be sustained:
BASIC level:
Implicit mentalization
INTERMEDIATE level:
Explicit mentalization
HIGHEST level:
Affective mentalization
