What Is Mentalization Based Therapy?
Mentalization-based therapy (MBT) is a psychotherapy approach that has been found to be effective in the treatment of these difficulties. MBT helps people to understand their thoughts and feelings, and the thoughts and feelings of others, in a more thorough and differentiated way. This enhanced understanding allows people to better regulate their emotions and interactions with others.
MBT is a relatively new treatment, having been developed in the late 1990s. MBT has been found to be especially helpful for people with borderline personality disorder (BPD), although it can be used with people with other difficulties as well.
Mentalization is the process of thinking about one’s own mental states (e.g., thoughts, feelings, intentions) and those of others (see Mentalization-Based Therapy: A Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder ). It is also known as the theory of mind, although this term implies that there is a clear-cut distinction between normal human interactions and those that are somehow pathological.
How Does Mentalization Therapy Works?
Mentalization is a skill that can be learned, and the therapist will provide feedback and guidance to help the client improve their ability to mentalize. The therapist will also help the client to understand the thoughts and feelings of others, which can be difficult if you do not have a good understanding of your own.
By helping the client to understand their own emotions, as well as those of others, will help to improve your relationships with people and decrease impulsivity. It can also reduce self-destructive behavior such as self-harm, suicidal behavior, or suicide attempts.
What Are The Mentalization Based Therapy Sessions Like?
The first session begins with the therapist and client discussing how the client got to this point and what their current difficulties are. The therapist will ask for a general idea of when these difficulties began, and any traumatic events in the person’s life that may have contributed to them
After this initial discussion, which takes about 50 minutes, there are a series of sessions that usually last between 45 and 50 minutes. In the first half of the session, the therapist and client discuss a specific issue or problem which is currently difficult for the client to deal with. The therapist may ask questions about what leads up to this difficulty occurring, how it unfolds, its resolution (or lack thereof), and any other issues that may be related to the topic.
The second half of each session is spent discussing how the client has been dealing with this issue and how it has affected their daily life. The therapist will ask about specific difficulties in the person’s day-to-day interactions and relationships, as well as any strong emotions that arose during or after conversations. The therapist will then help the client to think through and understand their own thoughts and feelings during these interactions, and how they may contribute to any difficulties.
What Can Mentalization Based Therapy Help With?
MBT has two main goals:
The therapist helps the client to deal with difficulties in regulation of affect. For example, people with BPD may experience intense emotions and react impulsively without thinking through the consequences. This is due to difficulties in understanding and regulating their emotional states and bodily sensations. As a result, they often feel overwhelmed by strong emotions and react impulsively, without thinking through the consequences.
The therapist helps the client to build a more coherent sense of self. For example, some people with BPD report feeling as though they do not understand their own feelings or reactions, or that these differ from one situation to another. Some feel as if they have no sense of identity and are instead just a collection of traits or behaviors. MBT helps people to develop a more differentiated and stable sense of self.
How Effective Mentalization Based Therapy Is?
MBT has been found to be an effective treatment for people with BPD, with research showing that it reduces overall symptoms and decreases the number of hospitalizations. It has also been found to be helpful for other disorders, including anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

FAQs
Mentalization, according to Fonagy, is “having one’s mind in mind.” This ability to imagine other people’s minds, according to Fonagy, is much more sophisticated than empathy. According to Fonagy, this self-awareness develops early in childhood through our interactions with the adults who care for us.
Interpersonal conflict is difficult to consider/reflect on because it is difficult to consider/reflect on the influence of one’s own actions on others. Unusual certainty when it comes to thoughts.
Mentalizing is the ability to read the minds of other agents, and it involves a variety of neurological processes. The mirror mechanism in the brain allows us to share other people’s feelings. We can deduce what a person now believes about the world based on their point of view by using perspective-taking.
Undermentalizing refers to a lack of functional mental state concepts, whereas overmentalizing refers to an excessive attribution of intents or personal significance. Reduced ToM implies that a person is capable of mentalizing but does it improperly, whereas no ToM suggests that a person is incapable of mentalizing.
The cognitive aspect of empathy, on the other hand, is the ability to “infer” others’ emotional states using cognitive skills: according to Shamay–model, Tsoory’s mentalization involves both cognitive and affective processes, and affective empathy refers to the possibility of inferring others’ emotional states.
