Mentalization Based Treatment is an evidence based integrative psychotherapy that focuses on strengthening one’s ability to recognize and understand one’s own mental and emotional state as well as that of others. As we better understand our own emotional and cognitive state and that of others, we can achieve greater flexibility in our thought patterns and a greater ability to regulate our emotions. Improved mentalizing results in better interpersonal relationships with family, friends, co-workers and others. Mentalization Based Treatment is effective for adults, adolescents, children, and families.
