MBT-F and Play: Masterclass
Saara wil teach about a short-term and low-threshold intervention aimed at developing and strengthening a positive and close bond between parent(s) and child, developed by Finnish clinical psychologist Saara Salo and her colleagues. The approach is based on a combination of Theraplay and mentalizing promoting therapy for families (MBT-F). Weaving play into family sessions creates another entry point for curiosity, attunement, connection and mutual understanding. For parents, the here and now offers experiences in practicing bounding, structuring, attunement, subtitling and repairing breaks in mentalizing. There are reciprocal activities with a focus on synchronizing, mirroring and explicit mentalizing. Reflective video feedback with parents reinforces the learning process. These playfull interventions can be delivered to a single parent-child dyad, a family or in a group. The intervention is typically conducted with expectant parents and parents/caregivers of children ages 0 to 12.
Saara has tailored the program for the master class MBT-F and Play for us. She will show us, but more importantly actively experience, how play can be used during mentalization-promoting family or parent-child treatments. We will experience how shared fun and attention can help us connect with ourselves and each other, and how that promotes explicit mentalizing.
