from Part IV - Application of Mentalization-Based Treatment in Different Populations and in Different Settings
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 May 2023
Interactive mentalizing is a problem for couples who are struggling to relate to each other constructively. Mentalization-based treatment for couples (MBT-CO) is a structured intervention that targets the ability to see things from the other person’s perspective, and the recovery of epistemic trust. Initially couples are asked to identify their own problems in the relationship and then to try to consider their partner’s perspective. The clinician supports discussion between them from the different perspectives, and strengthens their capacity to see things from alternative viewpoints. The aim is to enhance interactive mentalizing in the relationship so that the partners are able to maintain a balance between closeness and the erotically charged “otherness” that generates sexual intimacy and pleasure.
