No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The effects of psychological treatment, mentalization-based therapy, will be studied among persons with mental disorders seeking help from mental health care services.

Conditions

  • Severe Mental Illness

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mentalisation-Based Therapy

MBT is conducted according to the treatment manual developed by Bateman \& Fonagy. Patients are offered weekly individual sessions with an MBT therapist for 12 months.

OTHER

Treatment as Usual (TAU)

The TAU group will receive treatment as usual, which in mental health services might include medication, supportive counseling, short therapy, and other limited psychotherapeutic treatments such as DKT. There is no requirement for a frequency of visits for the usual psychiatric care of the TAU group, as this would not be realistic in the current service system, and the usual treatment would not be the usual treatment currently provided.
