Psychology in Business and Beyond

The Center for Applied Theory of Mind (CAToM), for Healthier People and Smarter Organizations

In today’s complex world, success and a fulfilling life depend on more than knowledge or good communication. They depend on understanding the minds behind human behavior.

The Center for Applied Theory of Mind (CAToM) helps individuals, leaders, teams and organisations develop their psychological infrastructure through the science and practice of mentalization—the uniquely human ability to understand the thoughts, beliefs, intentions, emotions, knowledge and motivations that shape behavior.

Grounded in the principles of the CAToM Framework and inspired by the work presented in Mastering Mentalizing and Mentalizations, CAToM translates the science of theory of mind into practical methods that improve decision-making, communication, leadership, collaboration, conflict resolution and human connection.

Mentalization gives people and organisations the tools to build stronger relationships and make better social decisions, whether at home, in their communities, or at work.
