'This book finally succeeds where so many previous attempts have sadly failed, it initiates a genuine process of interaction between the world of mental health and that of philosophy of mind. The authors establish a remarkably solid bridge between these two essential perspectives on the humanmind, in doing so they clarify some of the most profound issues confronting both endeavours and set exciting challenges for both philosophers and for mental health practitioners. It is simply the best book of its kind currently in print and probably the only text worth reading.'Peter Fonagy, Freud Memorial Professor, University College, London, Research Director, Anna Freud Centre.
