Mentalization-Based Treatment for Developmental Trauma offers mental health practitioners a transdiagnostic model to support the needs of traumatized children with both internalizing (emotional) and externalizing (behavioural) difficulties, and shows how MBT can be applied to meet the needs of children who have experienced various types of developmental trauma. This volume includes contributions from global experts in MBT who share their experience of using the method with traumatized children in a range of settings, from individual therapy to group work and work with parents, carers, and the networks around the child. They highlight the benefits of using MBT with different groups, such as children in foster or residential care or those who are refugees.
