Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy (MIT) for Personality Disorders Six-Week Live Webinar Series

Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy (MIT) is an empirically supported treatment for personality disorders and other severe conditions. It is based on a structured and manualised set of procedures that aim to guide the clinician's therapeutic engagement and treatment from the first session to the conclusion of treatment.

The overarching goal of MIT is to promote metacognitive differentiation or critical distance from maladaptive interpersonal schemas while simultaneously accessing healthy self-aspects, enabling individuals to take control of their actions. In order to change these schemas, MIT procedures include various experiential techniques. These techniques are delivered according to a shared formulation, developed in collaboration with the client, fine-tuned, and continuously updated.

We will explore how this collaborative process continuously invites clients to reflect on their own functioning and then decide on the steps they are willing to take to feel better and reach their most relevant life goals. This series will also emphasise how to prevent and repair ruptures in the therapeutic relationship and how to meta-communicate. We will explore the most recent developments in MIT, including procedures that address common therapist pitfalls and offer solutions for overcoming impasses and fostering progress.

Participants will also receive a recording of the whole series to review the material at any time.
