Abstract:
In this paper, we explore the rationale for a combined art therapy and mentalization-based treatment (MBT) group course for those experiencing a first episode of psychosis (FEP). We discuss the theoretical background for how art and MBT theory can help us better understand and work with groups of individuals experiencing FEP, particularly focusing on avoidance and insecure attachment styles. We outline the delivery of a ten-week psychoeducational Art MBT course within an Early Intervention in Psychosis (EIP) Service and discuss our experiential insights into this new modality as co-therapists. We conclude by proposing that art therapy and mentalizing practice together offer an accessible, useful and practical group structure for EIP services, which could improve individuals\' mentalizing capacity and overall social functioning.
摘要:
在本文中,我们探讨了针对首次出现精神病(FEP)的患者采用艺术疗法和基于心理的综合治疗(MBT)组疗程的基本原理.我们讨论了艺术和MBT理论如何帮助我们更好地理解和与经历FEP的个人群体合作的理论背景,特别关注回避和不安全的依恋方式。我们概述了在精神病早期干预(EIP)服务中提供为期十周的心理教育艺术MBT课程,并讨论了我们作为联合治疗师对这种新模式的经验见解。最后,我们提出,艺术治疗和心理实践共同提供了一种可获得的,EIP服务的有用和实用的组结构,这可以提高个人的心智能力和整体社会功能。
