Abstract

This review aims to systematically review the evidence on the effectiveness of mentalization-based therapy (MBT) in the treatment of borderline personality disorder (BPD), particularly in reducing the psychiatric symptoms associated with BPD and its comorbid disorders. Databases PubMed, Psycinfo, and Medline were systematically searched up to September 2021. Randomized controlled trials on the effectiveness of MBT in the context of BPD were eligible to include. Qualitative synthesis was conducted to summarize the studies. A total of 13 studies were finally included. These included eight 8 original studies and five5 follow-up papers. According to these 13 studies, mentalization-based therapy has either superior or equal reductions in psychiatric symptoms when compared with other treatments (supportive group therapy, treatment as usual, structured clinical management, and specialized clinical management). MBT was mainly conducted in the hospital setting (including day care) and delivered in a time-consuming manner. Mentalization based therapy can achieve significant reductions in BPD symptom severity and the severity of comorbid disorders as well as increase quality of life. However, caution is required, as the need for better quality and more wide-ranging carried out research such as randomized controlled trials is pressing. Research is also needed on the proposed mediators of MBT.
