Socially excluded youth with mental health problems and
co-occurring difficulties (e.g. conduct disorder, family breakdown,
homelessness, substance use, exploitation, educational failure)
attract the involvement of multiple agencies. Poorly coordinated
interventions often multiply in the face of such problems, so that
a young person or family is approached by multiple workers from
different agencies working towards different goals and using
different treatment models; these are often overwhelming and may
actually be experienced as aversive by the young person or their
family. Failure to provide effective help is costly throughout life
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; if these problems are all occurring simultaneously,
any progress in one area is easily undermined by harms still
occurring in another. AMBIT has been designed by and for community
teams from Mental Health, Social Care, Youth work, or that may be
purposefully multi-disciplinary/multi-agency. It emphasises the
need to strengthen integration in the complex networks that tend to
gather around such clients, minimising the likelihood of an
experience of care that is aversive. AMBIT uses well evidenced
'Mentalization-based' approaches, that are at their core
integrative - drawing on recent advances in neuroscience,
psycho-analytic, social cognitive, and systemic "treatment models".
