Psychologists who offer mentalization-based therapy
What is Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT)?
Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) was developed by Peter Fonagy and Anthony Bateman and focuses on strengthening your ability to mentalize — to understand your own and others' thoughts, feelings, and motivations. Impaired mentalization can lead to misunderstandings, conflicts, and emotional instability. MBT is primarily used for borderline personality disorder but also for depression and relational difficulties.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to mentalize?
Mentalizing is the ability to understand behaviour in terms of underlying thoughts and feelings — both your own and others'. When we mentalize well, we can regulate our emotions better and navigate relationships more effectively.
Who benefits from MBT?
MBT is especially well-documented for borderline personality disorder but also helps with antisocial personality disorder, eating disorders, depression, and attachment difficulties. It is relevant for anyone struggling to understand themselves in relationships.
How long does an MBT course last?
MBT is typically a longer-term therapy of 12-18 months. It can take the form of individual therapy, group therapy, or a combination. The course is tailored to the complexity of the issue.
