Background

The MBT Online training covers most of the theoretical knowledge that is currently taught on the MBT courses organised by the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families.

The primary aim of the Online training is to ensure that people who attend the training courses start the course with some background knowledge about mentalizing. The aims are to improve learning, allow a reduction in the time apportioned to teaching the knowledge base on the course, and increase the time allotted to clinical practice and development of skills.

Each unit stands alone. But all units are required for a comprehensive understanding of mentalizing so you may decide to complete all the units. However different courses will recommend you prepare by listening to specific units.

The Online training may be of equal interest to people not attending trainings who want to know more about mentalizing and mentalization-based treatments.

Should you require immediate access, please email training@annafreud.org to discuss your requirements. Access to the online training is granted for 10 months from the course date you purchased.
