This episode is the sixth in a series of 12 episodes  (Season 2) Introducing Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT).  Based on the Chapter 11 of the first edition  of Anthony Bateman and Peter Fonagy's Mentalizing Based Treatment for Personality Disorders: A Practical Guide, these podcasts recreate the 12 session introductory, interactive group that serves as the preparatory process for entering formal MBT treatment.   All listeners to "M & E "are welcome to listen to all of these episodes, but they are designed for listeners who are about to begin MBT and may be more technical than most "M & E" listeners may prefer.In this sixth MBTi episode we expand on the notion of Attachment we introduced in Episode 5, and how it relates to Mentalizing.   It turns out they are closely linked phenomenon: secure attachment  in a child assists in their development of robust mentalizing while good mentalizing on the part of a caregiver is a great predictor of secure attachment in a child.  Thus we can see good mentalizing and secure attachment as creating a positive intergenerational cycle.  On the other hand, a poor mentalizing culture in a family can lead to insecure attachment for children with consequences for their mentalizing ability as they grow.
