This paper introduces the lighthouse parenting programme, a mentalisation-based treatment (MBT) intervention for families at risk of maltreatment. Based on attachment theory and adult treatment for borderline personality disorder, the results of this pilot study suggest the programme may be useful for improving parenting confidence and sensitivity. Further research into the effectiveness of the programme on altering childrens’ behaviour is needed.
