Abstract
MBT-ED is structured with the explicit intention of stimulating mentalizing through a combination of treatment formats. In this chapter we will present the structure and aims in the mentalizing group (MBT-G) for eating disorders and discuss how the group can work as a training ground for interpersonal mentalizing. The specific challenges in group work with eating disorders will also be presented.
