Many people seeking professional help do so with implicit trust in us as psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists or other mental health professionals. They can trust in our skills, qualifications and in our intentions, to be helpful and to do no harm. However, a significant number of people who need our care have been disadvantaged with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and/or failures in professional relationships in adolescence or adulthood. Consequently, they approach us with varying amounts of suspicion, wariness, fear and even hostility. The Lighthouse Mentalization-based Treatment Parenting Programme has specialised in building trustful relationships with the most hostile and suspicious parents and families. MBT techniques and the concept of epistemic trust are particularly useful when considering how to engage these clients. This lecture will describe how one can work with suspicious, mistrustful, fearful and hostile clients, and bring about trust in the professional relationships.
