This volume, based upon a conference held at the City University of New York in September 2005, brings together leading researchers and thinkers such as Peter Fonagy, Mary Target, Otto Kernberg, Glen Gabbard, Sidney Blatt, Donnel Stern, and Philip Bromberg. From diverse contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives, the authors consider the concept of mentalization and its operationalized version, reflective function, which Peter Fonagy and his colleagues have introduced over the past fifteen years. They explore the relation between these concepts and established psychoanalytic terms, such as representation and internalization, as well as the place of mentalization in psychoanalytic theory. The result is a lively and cutting-edge volume that could become instrumental in defining the future of psychoanalysis. This book will be of interest to a much broader audience as well—developmentalists, cognitive psychologists, neuroscientists, and philosophers—who will find it a fascinating springboard for interdisciplinary collaboration.

we are not here to compete socially,
This review is from: Mind to Mind: Infant Research, Neuroscience, and Psychoanalysis (Paperback)
Fonagy and his colleagues present a distubed and disturbing view of human life, stating that the development of the prefrontal neocortex occurred so that we may compete with each other for imagined superiority earned through our ability to 'out smart' others and thereby gain acceptance into the superior social group. Once again psychoanalysis has created a bleak and meaningless horizon within which human beings are 'imagined' to live out their lives. Need we ask who might be members of this superior group? Might it be the author and his colleagues? Is there anything which might deliver us ordinary human beings from a life of subordination? My guess is that Fonagy et.al., have no idea what the source of such deliverence might be. To the faithful who idealize and consume this work I would say that I would choose to live in a much kinder and forgiving universe---but then they might say I was chosing to live in a world of 'pretending'.
