Mentalization-based therapy (MBT) emphasizes the importance of understanding relationships, particularly for individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Research indicates that improvements achieved through MBT can persist for eight years post-treatment. The therapy combines both group and individual sessions, helping patients develop a better grasp of their own and others’ thoughts and emotions. Distinct from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), MBT addresses more relational concerns, making it potentially beneficial for challenges like self-harm, parent-child dynamics, and addiction issues, thus providing a holistic approach to treatment.
Mentalization-based therapy goes beyond behavior and skills to focus on relationships. Research suggests gains from MBT were maintained 8 years after treatment.
Mentalization describes how we relate to ourselves and others. It is an intricate dance of connection and awareness of what we and others think and feel.
Mentalization-based interventions utilize a combination of group and individual therapy to assist individuals in understanding their unique profile of relating to self and others.
MBT may also be effective for related challenges like self-harm, parent-child relationships, and addictions.
