What is Mentalizing?
Mentalizing refers to our ability to attend to, and understand our behaviors and those of others on the basis of, mental states. This is the focus of MBT, which was initially developed by Drs. Anthony Bateman and Peter Fonagy for the treatment of borderline personality disorder (BPD) but now used in the treatment on a wide range of psychological disorders. MBT derived from early infant attachment and childhood development and interfaces with current research and social cognition . In this course, participants will learn how to recognize mentalizing vulnerabilities and implement MBT techniques in their work with high-conflict couples and families.
Common clinical situations are discussed and ‘role played’ to practice MBT techniques. Therapists are directed to focus on the patient’s mental state and on their understanding of here and now 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 couples and families.
