What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the short and long-term effects of the Lighthouse MBT Parenting Program, a transdiagnostic mentalization-based intervention, compared to standard care for parents with mental disorders. The trial addresses the significant impact of parental mental health on child outcomes, aiming to prevent adverse effects on children of parents suffering from mental disorders. It involves a randomized, two-arm, parallel group design conducted at a single center in Denmark, focusing on parents seeking treatment for specific non-psychotic disorders. The study aims to fill the gap in evidence-based interventions for this population.
