50

reflective functioning
51
who put forth the idea of mentalisation
peter fonagy
52
what did Peter Fonagy argue
that secure attachment may be meant to provide a mechanism to understand minds; our own, other peoples and the interplay of the 2
53
what do human beings try to understand
their own and others minds
54
how do humans try to understand their own and others minds
they use an understanding of mental states (intentions, feelings, thoughts, desires, beliefs etc) to make sense of and to anticipate each others actions
55
stronger mentalisation skills reflect
higher reflective functioning
56
what is reflective functioning
the capacity to mentalise emerges as a function of the caregiver's attuned reading and modulating of the child's internal state
57
what does reflective functioning build for children
builds childs ability to understand himself as separate from the caregiver with desires, feelings, thoughts and wishes that are distinct from those of others
58
nurturing interaction with caregiver also helps the child to
regulate his own affect responses such as that they become manageable, allowing the child and ultimately the adult to anticipate future affect experiences without fear of becoming overwhelmed and disintegrated
59
what does self-other differentiation promote
the capacity to mentalise which then permits the individual to reflect on his own affect as well as that of others in such a way that he is afforded the ability to experience and communicate affect rather than impulsivity act without understanding the mental state behind the action
60
what happens if we dont have strong reflective functioning
we are more likely to act impulsively in a relational exchange
