Summary

In this book, Maria Teresa Diez Grieser presents a well-founded, theoretically broad-based and at the same time practice-oriented presentation of mentalising parental work, which is particularly convincing due to its attitudinal sensitivity and clarity. Despite small gaps, for example with regard to epistemic trust, the book is an extremely worthwhile read for all those who understand parental development as a relational process and want to accompany it professionally.
