Summary
Social mentalizing informs the theory and practice of mentalization-based treatment for adolescents (MBT-A). Adolescence is, among other things, a time for establishing a self-identity and learning about how to interact effectively with a peer group. A focus on balancing mentalizing in peer and family interactions is crucial, with special attention to hypermentalizing and the alien self. Involvement of families and schools in treatment is necessary. MBT-A includes individual, family, and group therapy, and its overall aim is to develop the patient’s independence. Crucial aspects of achieving this goal include building up relational stability and supporting the patient’s sense of agency and autonomy within their relational networks.
