Mentalization-based therapy, an evidence-based treatment, was developed in the 1990s by Anthony Bateman and Peter Fonagy (with whom Dr. Malberg studied) specifically for people with borderline personalities. It is influenced by several different therapeutic approaches and is now used to treat other mental health conditions in addition to borderline personality disorder. Enhancement of mentalization and improved emotional regulation are the core of MBT. This presentation is an introduction to the theory and clinical practice of mentalization-based psychotherapy. Modifications to the model to adjust to different poulations will be discussed and illustrated.
