Summary

This chapter describes the structure of mentalization-based treatment group therapy (MBT-G) for adults and adolescents, and explains how to focus on the mentalizing process in the group. Clinical examples are used for illustrative purposes throughout, and the progress of the patient who was described in Chapter 4 is discussed. The introduction of new patients, the processes of developing clinical values for the group, and the generation of epistemic trust within the group are outlined, and exercises that are designed to stimulate interpersonal mentalizing in the group are discussed.
