In psychology, mentalization is the ability to understand the mental state – of oneself or others – that underlies overt behaviour.
Mentalization can be seen as a form of imaginative mental activity that allows individuals to perceive and interpret human behaviour in terms of intentional mental states. It is sometimes described as "understanding misunderstanding."
