Abstract
PURPOSE: Adolescent mentalisation-based integrative therapy (AMBIT) is a whole-systems approach designed to enhance the effectiveness and coordination of care for clients experiencing severe and pervasive difficulties in social and health care settings, who have not responded to traditional clinical approaches. AMBIT is a team-based manualised method that primarily aims to bolster mental state understanding and discourse focused on the client within and between teams. Over 300 teams worldwide have been trained in and adhere to AMBIT principles. METHOD: In this paper, we review and summarise the outcomes reported by eight AMBIT-informed teams that have published their findings with young people. Each report is discussed, and limitations of the data provided are identified. RESULTS: A synthesis of the findings across the studies suggests a generally positive impact of teams informed by AMBIT with moderate to large effect sizes on reducing symptoms and improving functionality. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that AMBIT may be a promising approach for young people with multiple problems but further research is needed to identify the active mechanisms of change in complex helping systems.
