A recent visiting scholar was Peter Fonagy, PhD, of the Anna Freud Center, London. After presenting a Friday night lecture (March 20, 2009) and a Saturday morning case conference, he met with a group of local clinicians who, led by E. James Anthony, MD, and Richard C. Fritsch, PhD, have been examining if when and how Bateman and Fonagy's Mentalization Based Treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder applies to the psychotherapy of a resistant adolescent in twice weekly treatment. This Saturday afternoon workshop introduced the work of the study group and questions it has raised about mentalization-based interventions. To illustrate the process and gain a greater understanding of the application of Fonagy's ideas, the group presented the treatment of an adolescent in twice weekly psychotherapy and weekly family therapy. |
