Abstract
Mentalization-based therapy (MBT) was developed originally by Peter Fonagy and Anthony Bateman for the treatment of adult patients with borderline personality disorder. In their subsequent randomized controlled trial comparing MBT against treatment as usual (TAU) for adult patients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, they found that the group receiving MBT in a partial hospital setting made significant improvements compared with the TAU group in decreases in suicidality and borderline symptoms and improvements in global functioning and vocational status, which were maintained at the 8-year follow-up.
