Exploration of a mentalization-based treatment introductory group in an Irish community mental health service
MBTi delivered in a non-specialist setting is associated with improvements in mentalizing capacity. The intervention is perceived as relevant and useful by participants, although the psychoeducation and online format conferred specific limitations. The findings support the role of MBTi as a feasible transdiagnostic intervention in general adult services, as part of a range of interventions.
