ABSTRACT
In the past 25 years, mentalization-based treatment (MBT) has become an increasingly well-known addition to the group therapy literature. In this article, mentalizing will be explained and a number of key concepts and interventions of MBT described. MBT’s usefulness for enhancing group therapy and developing client resilience and internal capacity will be explored, and examples of applications to psychodynamic group therapy will be offered.
