Adaptive Mentalization-Based Integrative Treatment A Guide for Teams to Develop Systems of Care

This is the first book to describe Adaptive Mentalization-Based Integrative Treatment (AMBIT). This is an approach to working with people - particularly young people and young adults - whose lives are often chaotic and risky, and whose problems are not limited to one domain. In addition to mental health problems, they may have problems with care arrangements, education or employment, exploitation, substance misuse, offending behaviours, and gang affiliations; ifthese problems are all occurring simultaneously, any progress in one area is easily undermined by harms still occurring in another.
