About this course
Upon purchasing the programme, you will receive a confirmation email. Please note access to the training will be granted once payment is received.
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.
If you have any questions or have problems logging in, please email training@annafreud.org. Access to the online training is granted for 10 months from the date you purchased. Once you reach 10 months, the account will automatically close. Unfortunately we're not able to extend access to the training, so the course must be completed within 10 months. Please note that if you wish to purchase another 10 months of training any progress previously made will not be saved.
