Despite the persuasiveness of Keven & Akins' (K&A) review, we argue that mentalization, or the ability to interpret the mental states of oneself and others, is required to construct the neonate mind, going far beyond sensorimotor imitation. This concept, informed by certain psychoanalytic and attachment theories, has produced a form of therapy called mentalization-based psychotherapy, which aims to improve emotional regulation. Our aim here is to shed light on a form of neonatal imitation that goes beyond sensorimotor imitation.

超越新生儿的感觉运动模仿：成年期的心理化心理治疗

尽管凯文和艾金斯 (K&A) 的评论具有说服力，但我们认为，心理化或解释自己和他人心理状态的能力是构建新生儿思维所必需的，远远超出了感觉运动的模仿。这个概念，在某些精神分析和依恋理论的启发下，产生了一种治疗形式，称为基于心理化的心理治疗，旨在改善情绪调节。我们在这里的目的是阐明一种超越感觉运动模仿的新生儿模仿形式。
