Mentalization-based treatment (MBT) has gained international acclaim
as an efficient treatment for patients with borderline personality
disorder. The approach is also helpful for other personality disorders
and conditions that are difficult to treat, e.g. addiction and eating
disorders. MBT consists of a psychoeducational, an individual, and a
group therapy component. This is the first comprehensive manual for
mentalization-based group therapy. The author has developed the manual
in close cooperation with Anthony Bateman and a team of group
analysts. It covers all the aspects of MBT which are necessary to
produce an informed and qualified group therapist. The book covers the
theory behind mentalization and borderline personality disorder
(especially its evolutionary roots), the structure of MBT and a
discussion of previous experiences with group psychotherapy for
borderline patients. The core of the book explains the main principles
of MBT-G and provides a powerful means for ensuring that therapists
adhere to these principles in a qualified way. The last part contains
a full transcript from a real MBT group composed of borderline
patients. As the first book dedicated to Group MBT, this book is a
valuable and unique addition to the Mentalization literature.
