Video: Anthony Bateman – Where does attachment fit into BPD?
Is Borderline Personality Disorder involve attachment? The Mentalization people (like Dr. Bateman) would say “Yes”.

Mentalizing is a verb
Mentalization is the true essence of love, compassion and understanding, because it allows you to internalize the authentic “image” of the other person’s mind (and they can yours as well). Mentalization is essentially done through asking questions, but not leading questions. One cannot ASSUME the other person’s thoughts and feelings are what you think they are. You have to start with a blank slate each time. You can “read” momentary feelings (such as recognizing micro-expressions) but the MEANING of those feelings is not always clear. If you don’t know, you have to ask. No related posts.
