Leaving Malta again after my second trip here in two weeks, delivering training on mentalizing approaches to mental health professionals. Great engagement and discussion from attendees. I stand by mentalization being a useful approach in any circumstances.

First day #BIGSPD26 done ✅ The first keynote was from Dr Annette Jones (LSCFT). It got the room thinking about how to create system learning from a successful service (ATS). What is it about ATS that works? The data/outcomes say it works well.

When people diagnosed with 'borderline personality disorder' are told they are "too unstable for therapy", this harms their self-concept, and also seems to rather bizarrely demand that people get well before they are treated. Explore further, open access: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
