About Mentalizing Initiative
Mentalizing refers to our ability to attend to, and understand our own actions and those of others on the basis of, mental states. This is the focus of MBT, initially developed by Drs. Anthony Bateman and Peter Fonagy for the treatment of borderline personality disorder (BPD) but now used on a wide range of disorders. MBT was developed based on studies of early childhood development and attachment. In this course, participants will learn how to implement MBT techniques within their clinical practice as a specialist treatment.
Common clinical situations are discussed and ‘role played’ to practice skills. MBT requires therapists to focus on the patient’s mental state and on their understanding of interactions with the patient. The therapist takes a ‘not knowing’ stance and yet explicitly develops with the patient or family alternative perspectives about what is happening. Participants will learn how to use their own experiences of the patient as a way of increasing mentalizing within therapeutic encounters. The course considers techniques, such as clarification, challenge and basic mentalizing in the context of some of the common clinical scenarios encountered in treatment with patients.
This training will prepare participants to:
- Understand how mentalizing vulnerabilities develop in the context of insecure attachment
- Recognize the interpersonal context that results in mentalizing vulnerability
- Assess the mentalizing capacities and vulnerabilities in BPD and other personality disorders
- Implement a mentalizing therapeutic stance
- Discern non-mentalizing from mentalizing modes of self-experience
- Identify mentalizing failures and implement appropriate interventions to restore mentalizing
- Recognize the adverse effect of one’s non-mentalizing interventions and correct them
- Implement the basic mentalizing techniques in all clinical work
