Thank you for this interview Dr Dave! The notion of mentalligence reminded me a lot with the concept of mentalizing. Professor Peter Fonagy and Anthony Bateman, from UCL and Anna Freud Centre have done a lot of research, writing and training on this (mentalisation based treatment). Will we have the opportunity to have a further exploration of this? Thank you again for helping us all learn.
