Body-Oriented Mentalizing in Clinical Practice describes a pathbreaking adaptation of the therapeutic approach of mentalizing to help patients understand the relationship between their mental and somatic experiences when physical symptoms are persistent. The book includes applications for individual, non-verbal, group, and systemic therapies.

This book is one of the most valuable contributions to the particular importance of the body in the mentalisation model, both theoretically and practically. Jaap Spaans focuses with the concept of body-oriented mentalization-based therapy on the large group of patients with persistent physical (somatoform) symptoms. This book is a milestone in the improvement of mentalization-based theory and practice for patients with persistent physical complaints, after the body has been forgotten in the discussion of the Theory of Mind.
