The first in a 10-Session Non-Yalom Group Theory Seminar Focused on Mentalization-Based Group Therapy. The basic tenet of attachment theory is that human beings are born with an innate psychobiological system (the attachment behavioral system) that motivates them to seek proximity to protective others (attachment figures) in times of need (Bowlby, 1982). The theory of mentalizing has recently developed to consider another important function of attachment relationships, namely their role in the development of epistemic trust—that is, trust in the authenticity and personal relevance of interpersonally transmitted knowledge about how the social environment works and how best to navigate it.
