Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a new mentalization-based therapy for parents in high-conflict situations.
  • To compare this intervention against a psycho-educational group (treatment as usual).
  • To explore parents' subjective experiences of the interventions.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial with a mixed-methods design.
  • 30 parents in entrenched conflict post-separation were recruited.
  • Participants were allocated to either mentalization-based therapy or a psycho-educational group.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements were observed in primary outcome measures.
  • Clinically important trends were noted in secondary outcome measures.
  • Qualitative data provided insights into parents' experiences and the intervention's impact.

Conclusions:

  • Mentalization-based therapy for parental conflict is a feasible and potentially effective intervention.
  • Findings support the need for larger-scale randomized controlled trials.
  • The study highlights the importance of mentalization in high-conflict parental dynamics.
