What It Captures
The tool captures practitioner-entered breakdown context, observed or reported cues, non-mentalizing response pattern, linked triggers or relational conditions, and optional future session focus.
Mentalizing Breakdown / Non-Mentalizing Mode Identification
Mentalizing Breakdown / Non-Mentalizing Mode Identification is a practitioner-only MBT tracking aid for clinicians who need to record contexts and patterns in which mentalizing gives way to unhelpful non-mentalizing responses. It helps the practitioner organize breakdown context, response pattern, linked triggers or relational conditions, and future session focus.

What It Does Not Do
It does not diagnose, score severity, automatically classify modes, infer mental states, or claim that a trigger caused the response.
Repeat Use
Ongoing tracking can preserve prior entries so the practitioner can review repeated contexts or patterns descriptively over time.
Is this client-facing?
No. The tool is practitioner-only; client or family material may inform the entry through session conversation, but clients do not complete a product form.
Does the system classify the non-mentalizing mode for me?
No. The system organizes practitioner-entered descriptions but does not assign automated clinical labels or interpretations.
Can I save a partial entry?
Yes. Partial entries can be saved with unresolved context, pattern, or trigger information visible.
What configuration is saved?
The tool, selected tracking scope, selected entry mode, and reusable setup are saved; sample demo entries are not saved as real client data.
