Mentalization-based therapy helps patients think before they react to their own feelings or to the perceived feelings of others. With an improved ability to mentalize, patients not only process their own thoughts, feelings, and related behaviors differently, they also better understand that another person's thoughts, feelings, and behavior may differ from their own interpretation.
