摘要

The concept of mentalizing and Mentalization-Based Therapy was primarily developed in the 1990s by Fonagy and Bateman. Mentalizing refers to the ability to understand the mental reasons and intentions behind one’s own behavior and that of others. This includes wishes, ideas, and beliefs, which are shaped by a variety of influences throughout a person’s life. From infancy onward, early attachment experiences with caregivers influence the development of the self as well as affect perception and affect regulation.

As part of a research project at the Medical University of Vienna, an accompanying study was conducted at Klinik Favoriten on a 1-year training program for staff members in the field of Mentalization-Based Therapy. The aim of the study was to gain insights into the impact of the training on mentalizing capacity, affect perception, and symptom burden among participating hospital staff.

To this end, mentalizing ability, affect perception and regulation, as well as current symptom burden, were assessed using various questionnaires and in the form of interviews at two measurement points. The data were processed and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA).

A positive and significant change was found in the area of self-mentalizing. No significant change was measurable in the areas of mentalization of others and motivation to mentalize. In the field of affect perception and affect regulation, four out of six subcategories showed significant improvement. The results regarding symptom burden indicated a nonsignificant correlation between mentalization ability and reduction of symptom burden.

The sample size was very small (N = 20). Data collection took place in the hospital and during working hours, which may have influenced staff performance. For further studies, the impact of the mentalizing ability of staff members on patient recovery would be interesting.
