OUR MISSION

At the Center for Applied Theory of Mind, we are dedicated to advancing the understanding and practical application of mentalization and theory of mind concepts.​​ We translate scientific research in the fields of mentalization and theory of mind into actionable insights and tools that empower individuals to negotiate social situations effectively. 

 

We cultivate mentalization skills through a variety of methods, including online assessments, training and coaching, in-person certification programs, specialized workshops, and comprehensive publications. Additionally, we guide professionals and organizations with the integration of these insights and tools into their work procedures to enhance performance.

OUR APPROACH

Effective individual and organizational interventions are grounded in ongoing assessment, adaptation, and evaluation to achieve optimal results. Our approach integrates mentalization with other evidence-based techniques, ensuring comprehensive and impactful solutions.  We use techniques such as:

​

Cognitive Behavioral Coaching (CBC), a structured, evidence-based approach that applies principles and techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to the coaching context. It helps individuals improve their performance, achieve personal or professional goals, and overcome challenges by identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns, behaviors, and emotional responses.

​

​Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), a goal-oriented, evidence-based therapeutic approach that emphasizes solutions rather than problems. It is designed to help clients identify and amplify their strengths and resources to achieve specific, realistic goals in a relatively short amount of time.

​

Organizational Behavior Management (OBM), a subfield of applied behavior analysis (ABA) that focuses on improving individual and group performance within organizational settings. It uses behavior science principles, such as reinforcement, feedback, and measurement, to promote effective workplace behavior and achieve organizational goals.

​

​Mentalization complements these approaches by focusing on the understanding of mental states—both one's own and others'. When integrated, these techniques not only target behavior and skills but also deepen empathy, improve self-awareness, and foster stronger interpersonal connections. This holistic approach is particularly effective for improving outcomes in both personal and organizational contexts.
