“…It differs, too, from the notion of core complex anxiety, wherein the experience of being recognized by the other is threatening and provokes an anxious withdrawal from contact (Glasser, 1986). Uncanny contact may arise before any conscious experience of threat by the other, as a result of being accurately noticed by the other (Jones and Bradshaw, 2014). For the borderline patient this is not just a developmentally new and therefore unfamiliar experience, from which anxiety stems.…”

“…Both the original SUN model and the inter-digitated service model have been fully described elsewhere Jones and Miller, 2011). This cross-fertilization of therapeutic models resulted in the enrichment of the replicated SUN Project with concepts derived from MBT and from the independent psychoanalytic tradition (Jones and Bradshaw, 2014), with the adapted, replicated model meeting with high patient satisfaction, perceived increased empowerment and reduced use of psychiatric inpatient services (Jones et al, 2012(Jones et al, , 2013a. This paper represents a formal attempt to capture the modifications to the original model, integrating these with a fuller account of the original components of the model under the new umbrella term of "network-based therapy" (NETBT).…”

Purpose – The Service User Network (SUN) follows the ethos of the therapeutic community and draws upon coping theory and psychoanalytic understanding of personality disorder to provide a supportive group-based resource to adults struggling to cope. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach – The original SUN Project has been successfully replicated, with the further addition and integration of psychoanalytically – derived approaches to the treatment of personality disorder within that replication. The most notable theoretical additions come from the mentalization-based therapy model and the Independent School of Psychoanalysis. In this paper, the author expands the original description of the model to include these theoretical additions, together with a fuller account of the original tenets of the treatment paradigm than previously described. Findings – This provides an outline of a network-based therapy (NETBT) as a first stage in manualizing the model, as well as extending its use to support adolescents. Originality/value – Network-based therapy is a new, evolving group treatment for adolescents and adults struggling to cope.
