Mind Mindedness o la capacidad del adulto para tratar al niño(a) como un individuo con mente: Nuevas perspectivas para el estudio de la interacción entre el(la) niño(a) preescolar y sus figuras de apego
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Resumen
A partir de los 3 años de edad, el(la) niño(a) preescolar adquiere la habilidad para razonar sobre sus propias emociones, creencias y deseos, por lo que, además de una respuesta sensible, necesita de una actitud mentalizante del adulto que lo ayude a tomar conciencia de su mente y a comprender su mundo interno a través del lenguaje. En este contexto, el constructo de Mind Mindedness permite conceptualizar esta capacidad del adulto significativo(a), para comprender en mejor medida la emergencia de la teoría de la mente y el vínculo de apego en el(la) niño(a) preescolar. Este artículo expone una revisión del desarrollo teórico y empírico que está a la base del constructo Mind Mindedness y discute sus principales aportes al estudio, comprensión e intervención en la interacción entre el(la) niño(a) preescolar y su figura de apego.
