About this course
MBT has been adapted for the treatment of people with antisocial personality disorder (MBT-ASPD). This course will outline how mentalizing can contribute to the understanding of ASPD and how mentalization based treatment can be used to treat people with ASPD in health care and criminal justice systems.
This on-line training follows a 2+1 format. There are two initial introductory days followed by ‘homework and practice’ in the workplace. This is followed by a further training day. All participants are expected to attend all days and to have completed their work practice.
