About

Mentalization-based treatment (MBT) is a form of psychodynamic psychotherapy, developed and manualised by professors Peter Fonagy and Anthony Bateman. This engaging 3 day workshop, which is accredited by the Anna Freud centre, will involve theory, role plays, videos and provide an active clinical skills based learning environment. The Basic training is the first step towards becoming an accredited MBT practitioner. MBT is an evidence based treatment and is now recommended by NICE guidelines, as well as many international treatment guidelines for personality disorders. Mentalising is such a fundamental social and human capacity that it is not surprising that difficulties with mentalising underlie many of the problems our patients present with. All therapies involve some degree of mentalising. What is unique about MBT is that it specifially targets mentalising capabilities as its core function.The heart of MBT is, together with the patient, to identify mentalising vulnerabilities related to the patient's presentation, to attend to and stimulate mentalising, to recover mentalising when it is lost and for the patient and the therapist to develop a curiosity about each other's minds and hearts.
