Summary
Mentalization-based treatment (MBT) for psychosis focuses on the decoupling of bodily and mental experience as well as the stresses of mentalizing during social interaction. In a framework of mentalizing, psychotic phenomena can be represented as severe disturbances to the experience of oneself as a coherent unit. Clinical treatment that aims to increase integration and stability of self-experience is illustrated in this chapter using clinical examples. The first task is to identify treatment objectives and define any obstacles to treatment, working with co-constructed representations of the clinical problem. The second task is to integrate the viewpoints of the patient, the clinical team, and the social care network, and to agree an overall working formulation. This is followed by therapeutic intervention to stabilize self-mentalizing using interventions from the core MBT model.
