Käytännön työtä ohjaava mentalisaatioterapian hoito-opas (mentalization-based treatment, MBT) esittelee, miten epävakaa ja epäsosiaalinen persoonallisuushäiriö voidaan mentalisoinnin näkökulmasta ymmärtää ja miten mentalisoivaa mallia voidaan soveltaa näiden häiriöiden hoitoon. Kirjassa tarkastellaan mentalisaation viite kehystä, mentalisaatioterapian toteuttamista sekä ryhmien ja yhteisöjen mentalisointia. Kirja johdattaa mielenterveysalan ammattilaiset MBT-hoitomallin tavoitteisiin ja rakenteisiin sekä siihen, miten mentalisoiva malli esitellään potilaille niin, että se lisää heidän ymmärrystään persoonallisuushäiriöistä. Kirjassa kerrotaan myös, millainen yksilö- ja ryhmäterapian prosessi tukee vakaampaa mentalisointia. Tästä hoito-oppaasta saa ohjeita siihen, miten menetellä hoitoa vaikeuttavien mielenterveysongelmien, kuten masennuksen ja syömishäiriöiden hoidossa. Lisäksi se tarjoaa tukea sosiaalisissa yhteisöissä ilmeneviin mentalisoinnin ongelmiin. Mukana on myös perheille ja huoltajille suunnattu harjoittelu- ja tukiohjelma. Tämä MBT-hoito-opas on nyt käännetty suomeksi, sillä kiinnostus mentalisaatioterapiaa kohtaan on viime vuosina kasvanut. MBT-hoito-ohjelmaa toteutetaan julkisessa terveydenhuollossa, ja lisäksi monet yksityisen puolen psyko terapeutit ja muut mielenterveysalan ammattilaiset hyödyntävät mentalisaatioterapian viite kehystä ja terapiatekniikoita vastaan otoillaan. Mentalisaatioterapialla on vakuuttava tutkimusnäyttö, joka kasvaa jatkuvasti. MBT-hoitomalli sai A-luokan näytönasteen epävakaan persoonallisuushäiriön Käypä hoito-suosituksessa vuonna 2020.

Despite the growing cultural and empirical interest in narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder, therapists often feel confused and overwhelmed about how to help patients struggling with these problems. “Mentalization” refers to the ability to read, access, and reflect on mental states in oneself and other people. Research shows that people with narcissism can suffer from extreme difficulties mentalizing themselves and others, leading to instability in their mood, interpersonal relationships, and sense of self. Mentalization-based Treatment for Pathological Narcissism: A Handbook provides much needed guidance about how to effectively help patients suffering from narcissistic vulnerabilities. Mentalization-based treatment, or MBT, is an evidence-based therapy for patients with personality disorders, helping patients to reflect on mental states in themselves and others, resulting in significant improvements in everyday functioning. This book reviews the deficits in mentalizing associated with pathological narcissism, describes how to give the diagnosis of narcissism to patients, outlines how to structure therapy sessions, and offers step-by-step techniques about “what to do and say” when sitting with these patients. Utilizing vibrant case examples and verbatim scripts from actual psychotherapies, the authors explain how to address the most common clinical challenges associated with narcissism: disconnection from emotions; impairments in empathy; rigid thinking; monologues and intellectualization; unstable self-esteem; and tendencies to blame other people for disruptions in their relationships.

A complete and practical guide offering a concise overview of mentalization-based treatment (MBT) and its application in different situations and with different groups of patients to help improve the treatment of mental health disorders. Featuring an introduction to mentalizing and the evidence base to support it, followed by the principles of MBT and the basic clinical model in individual and group psychotherapy. Other chapters offer extensive clinical illustrations of the treatment of patients with depression, psychosis, trauma, eating disorders, and borderline, antisocial, narcissistic, and avoidant personality disorders. The final section outlines the application of mentalizing and MBT in different populations – children, adolescents, families, couples – and their use in different contexts – teams, schools, and care settings. Part of the Cambridge Guides to the Psychological Therapies series, offering all the latest scientifically rigorous and practical information on a range of key, evidence-based psychological interventions for clinicians.

In his important contribution to the growing field of sports literature, Anthony Bateman traces the relationship between literary representations of cricket and Anglo-British national identity from 1850 to the mid 1980s. Examining newspaper accounts, instructional books, fiction, poetry, and the work of editors, anthologists, and historians, Bateman elaborates the ways in which a long tradition of literary discourse produced cricket's cultural status and meaning. His critique of writing about cricket leads to the rediscovery of little-known texts and the reinterpretation of well-known works by authors as diverse as Neville Cardus, James Joyce, the Great War poets, and C.L.R. James. Beginning with mid-eighteenth century accounts of cricket that provide essential background, Bateman examines the literary evolution of cricket writing against the backdrop of key historical moments such as the Great War, the 1926 General Strike, and the rise of Communism. Several case studies show that cricket simultaneously asserted English ideals and created anxiety about imperialism, while cricket's distinctively colonial aesthetic is highlighted through Bateman's examination of the discourse surrounding colonial cricket tours and cricketers like Prince Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji of India and Sir Learie Constantine of Trinidad. Featuring an extensive bibliography, Bateman's book shows that, while the discourse surrounding cricket was key to its status as a symbol of nation and empire, the embodied practice of the sport served to destabilise its established cultural meaning in the colonial and postcolonial contexts.

Mentalizing - the ability to understand oneself and others by inferring mental states that lie behind overt behaviour - develops within the context of attachment relationships. It is crucial to self-regulation and constructive, intimate relationships, both of which are impaired in personality disorders because of sensitivity to losing mentalizing at times of anxiety and attachment stress. Loss of mentalizing leads to interpersonal and social problems, emotional variability, impulsivity, self-destructive behaviours, and violence. This practical guide on mentalization-based treatment (MBT) of personality disorders outlines the mentalizing model of borderline and antisocial personality disorders and how it translates into clinical treatment. The book, divided into four parts - the mentalizing framework, basic mentalizing practice, mentalizing and groups, and mentalizing systems - covers the aims and structure of treatment, outlines how patients are introduced to the mentalizing model so that their personality disorder makes sense to them, explains why certain interventions are recommended and others are discouraged, and systematically describes the process of treatment in both group and individual therapy to support more stable mentalizing. People with personality disorders commonly have comorbid mental health problems, such as depression and eating disorders, which complicate clinical treatment. Therefore, the book advises the clinician on how to manage comorbidity in treatment. In addition, mentalizing problems in families and social systems, for example, schools and mental health services are also covered. A families and carers training and support guide is provided as families and others are often neglected during the treatment of people with personality disorder. The book is a valuable guide for all mental health workers on how to effectively treat personality disorders.

Mentaliseringsbaserad terapi (MBT) är en vetenskapligt dokumenterad behandlingsmetod som rönt stor internationell uppmärksamhet. Till en början var MBT inriktad på borderline personlighetsstörning, men idag prövas behandlingsmetoden också på till exempel ätstörningar, depression och missbruk.Mentaliseringsbaserad terapi – manual och bedömningsskala behandlar individualterapi. Boken redogör för det flerdimensionella begreppet mentalisering. Författarna går också igenom principerna bakom MBT och de diskuterar vilka krav som bör ställas på psykoterapeutiska värderingsskalor. De beskriver även utvecklingen av MBT värderingsskala. En stor del av boken ägnar författarna åt en detaljerad genomgång av alla de sjutton stegen i värderingsskalan. I bokens appendix finns själva värderingsskalan och en skala för värdering av mentaliseringsförmågan.Sagt om boken"De två första kapitlen erbjuder en genomgång av vad mentalisering och mentaliseringsbaserad psykoterapi är, definitioner och hur detta utvecklats fram till idag.

At mentalisere vil sige at forstå adfærd som udtryk for mentale tilstande som tanker og følelser. Denne bog giver en udførlig redegørelse for begrebet mentalisering og dets anvendelse i klinisk praksis. Forfatterne lægger op til, at mentalisering betragtes som grundlaget for alle psykoterapeutiske handlinger, og ønsker med bogen at styrke fundamentet for psykoterapeutisk praksis. Udviklingen af interessen for mentalisering er sket i tre bølger. Den første bølge kom, da Uta Frith, John Morton og deres medarbejdere beskrev mentaliseringsvanskeligheder som det centrale psykologiske problem i forbindelse med autisme. Kort tid efter skabte Peter Fonagy, Mary Target og deres kolleger bølge nummer to ved at anvende mentaliseringsbegrebet i forbindelse med traumerelateret udviklingspsykologi, sådan som den kom til udtryk i borderline-personlighedsforstyrrelse. Nu er der så ved at danne sig en tredje bølge med henblik på at inddrage mentalisering i det kliniske arbejde med et bredere spektrum af forstyrrelser, behandlingsmodaliteter og teoretiske tilgange. Bogens første del er en grundig gennemgang af den forskningsmæssige og teoretiske litteratur af relevans for mentalisering, herunder dens mange aspekter og relationer til beslægtede begreber, dens udviklingsmæssige udspring i tilknytningsforhold og dens neurobiologiske forankring. Bogens anden del omhandler mentaliserende interventioner i psykoterapi, og hvordan disse anvendes i fx traumebehandling, terapi med børn og deres forældre, behandling af borderline-personlighedsforstyrrelse, psykoedukation og i forebyggelse af fx voldelig adfærd. Bogen henvender sig til faggrupper, der arbejder med mennesker, særligt i terapeutiske sammenhænge, herunder psykologer, psykiatere, psykoterapeuter. Den forsyner praktikere med alt, hvad de har brug for at vide om mentaliseringsbaseret behandling. Jon G. Allen, Peter Fonagy og Anthony W. Batemaner alle tre professorer og de største internationale kapaciteter inden for mentaliseringsbaseret terapi.
