Mentalization-Based Treatment

Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) is a psychotherapy approach that helps individuals better understand their own thoughts and feelings, as well as those of others. It focuses on improving the ability to interpret motivations, intentions, and emotions, which can be challenging for some people, especially those with emotional or relational difficulties. By strengthening these skills, MBT aims to foster healthier relationships and emotional regulation. It is often used to treat conditions like borderline personality disorder and other issues involving emotional instability and interpersonal struggles, promoting greater self-awareness and empathy.
