Tiny study asks: does MBT work for Over-60s?

NCT ID NCT07065071

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This small study looked at whether Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) helps people aged 60 and older who struggle in relationships. Researchers recruited 3 participants and used interviews and questionnaires to see if the therapy improved their ability to understand their own and others' thoughts and feelings. The goal was to gather initial evidence, not to prove a cure, since MBT is already being used with older adults without solid proof it works.
