Play, Livingness and Imagining Life in Others: A Sixth Sense
2023: Mentalization, Empathy, Trust, and Theory of Mind
Weary of growing trends in behavioral health that focus on the use of specific therapeutic tools to fix specific areas of psychopathologies, and how such an approach often moves us farther away from the proven common factor in all good therapy, Ellenhorn's New Perspectives on Treatment series focuses on enhancing the psychological postures and mindsets of clinicians to match what we know creates the most fertile ground for growth.
Collaboration, hope, uncertainty, play and curiosity are the very human attributes we’ve discussed in this series over the past five years, and in each we have seen not only the roots of good therapeutic skills, but the very things in life that we want more than anything for our clients.
At Ellenhorn, we believe in a very simple premise that is often neglected in the mental-health profession: that the brain is a social organ that has been built for species that collaborate in order to invent. To be social, means to be able to imagine the inner world of others; to hold another’s mind in our own; and to curiously, playfully, and with great hope in the face of uncertainty, consider another. The New Perspectives on Treatment series for 2023 will grapple with this multifaceted task while playing with, and curiously considering, such topics as mentalization, empathy, trust, and Theory of Mind.
