Clinical Trial Summary

A feasibility and pilot trial to investigate the feasibility of a newly manualized psychotherapy "Mentalization-Based Training for Adolescents with Conduct Disorder (MBT-CD)"


Clinical Trial Description

Background: Conduct Disorder is a severe and complex mental disorder with the highest incidence in adolescence. Previous studies have shown that family-oriented interventions are effective in the treatment of Conduct Disorder. However, most therapies focus rather on symptom management and less on etiological causes without inclusion of the family in the therapeutic process. Previous research has linked specific symptoms of Conduct Disorder with deficits in mentalization ability. Mentalization is the ability to perceive one's own and other's behavior as the product of affective and cognitive mental states. Low or missing mentalization abilities are regarded as a risk factor for the development and chronification of Conduct Disorder. Aims: The study aims to investigate the feasibility of a newly manualized psychotherapy "Mentalization-Based Training for Adolescents with Conduct Disorder (MBT-CD)" that strives to decrease symptoms associated with Conduct Disorder by increasing mentalization in adolescents and their families. Methods: The study is feasibility and piolot trial, carried out in Heidelberg (Germany), and Mainz (Germany). Adolescents aged between 11-18, who meet the DSM-5 criteria for Conduct Disorder will receive MBT-CD. Times of measurement: t0 (Screening), T1 (Baseline, at the beginning of therapy), T2 (3 months after the beginning of therapy), T3 (at the end of therapy, after 6 months), T4 (follow-up, after 9 months). ;
