1 The idea of a “white relationship” corresponds to what we might think of as a bland relationship or a tepid transference, where affective connection appears to be weak, undeveloped, and unrecognized.

2 Green (2010) observes that Marty never defined exactly what he means by representation.

3 Some theory-theory proponents are infatuated with the analogy between the trial-and-error process of children and what scientists do (Gopnik 1993; Gopnik, Capps, & Meltzoff, 2000). This idea is controversial, however, and has been criticized as being misleading and not well developed (Bogdan, 1997; Goldman, 2006). Recently, Legare and Harris (2016) have made the intriguing proposal that the child is like an anthropologist, charged with discerning and integrating emotional and cultural learning.

4 As Carruthers and Smith (1996) describe it, “The original false-belief task involved a character, Maxi, who places some chocolate in a particular location and then leaves the room; in his absence the chocolate is then moved to another location. The child is then asked where Maxi will look for the chocolate on his return. In order to succeed in this task, the child must understand that Maxi still thinks that the chocolate is where he left it—the child must understand that Maxi has a false belief, in fact” (p. 2).

5 Wilkinson and Ball (2012) and Mitchell, Currie, and Ziegler (2009) argue that we should strive to move beyond viewing the two perspectives as opposing each other and seek to combine them. Bach (2011) defends a version of the hybrid account that accentuates their interrelation, based on the theory of structure mapping.

6 Lombardo, Chakrabarti, and Baron-Cohen (2009) and Heyes and Frith (2014) have also argued in favor of distinguishing between two levels of mentalization: low-level embodied/simulative representations and high-level inferences.

7 Another philosopher, Stueber (2006), has proposed a distinction between basic and reenactive empathy that closely resembles the distinction that Goldman makes between low and high mentalization. In the context of defending simulation theory, Stueber contrasts “basic empathy,” which he sees as a fundamental perceptual level of interpersonal relations, and “reenactive empathy,” which requires a richer awareness of context and meaning. Reenactive empathy leads us not just to identify what is going on with another person, but to seek to make it intelligible.

8 MBT is currently in use in the following countries: Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Holland, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and Peru.

10 Fonagy and Luyten are in the process of developing a Q-sort measure of reflective function that would avoid depending on self-report in favor of therapists’ ratings of patients.
