This paper discusses mentalization, defined as the capacity to know one’s own mind and understand the minds of others. Increasingly used in the arts therapies, mentalization is viewed as the most common factor in all psychosocial treatments, regardless of theoretical orientation. Two drama therapy cases that were impacted by attachment trauma are discussed, highlighting the value of drama in fostering emotional regulation and the cohesion of “split off” aspects of the self. The crucial impact of parenting in early development is outlined, underlining the importance of caretaking and secure attachment as precursors to the capacity to mentalize.
