The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if Mentalization-based therapy (MBT) is superior to enhanced usual care (treatment-as-usual-plus (TAU-plus)) for adolescents with disruptive behavior or dissocial disorders. MBT is an intervention that aims to improve mentalizing. Mentalizing is the ability to reflect on mental states in oneself and others that motivate behavior. TAU-plus consists of psychiatric care for the adolescent, along with additional emotion-focused skills training for the parents. Participants will be randomized in one of two groups using one study center.
