Abstract
Service-learning is the integration of community service into a classroom curriculum. Facilitator-led "reflection" encourages students to examine their experiences. This article describes dissertation research in which the researcher/facilitator in a high school service-learning reflection class utilizes mentalization theory in reflection sessions to help students become more aware of their own mental states, and to reflect on the mental states of others.
