ABSTRACT
In this chapter, a child's case story and his course of treatment form the framework for a description of mentalization-based pedagogy and therapy, in relation to neglected and traumatized children and adolescents. In mentalization-based pedagogy, there is a focus on how to use the natural elements in the interaction between parents and children to develop the child's emotions, the ability to mentalize, and to support the development of a coherent self.
