This has come to be known as “mentalization based treatment” or MBT and has been the subject of a number of recent books bygd our grupp (Mentalization Based Treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Practical Guide – Oxford; Mentalizing in Clinical Practice- American Psychiatric Press) and collections of papers (Handbook of Mentalization Based Treatment – Wiley; Mentalization in Mental Health Practice- American Psychiatric Press), as well as increasingly others who have adopted our approach (Busch (ed) Mentalization: Theoretical considerations, research findings, and clinical implications;.
