Q
What is Mentalization Based Therapy?
A
Mothers with mentalizing competence, even if they them-
selves have experienced childhood trauma, have securely attached offspring.
Mentalizing is thus a resilience factor for those with developmental adversity, and its
fostering an important psychotherapy outcome goal. Mentalization Based Therapy
(MBT) has become an evidence-based therapy modality in its own right, primarily
designed for people suffering with personality disorders (Bateman & Fonagy, 2009).
