Thinking about assessment: Further evidence of the validity of the movie for the assessment of social cognition as a measure of mentalistic abilities
No full textThe present study aimed to evaluate the nomological network validity of the Movie for the Assessment of Social Cognition (MASC) in its Italian translation, addressing distinct research questions in 3 independent samples of Italian participants comprising adolescent nonclinical participants (N = 393), adult nonclinical participants (N = 193), and adult outpatients with a personality disorder (PD) diagnosis who sought psychotherapy treatment (N = 59). In all 3 samples, the MASC proved to be a reliable measure of mentalizing ability, with Cronbach's alpha values ranging from .70 to .78. In both nonclinical adolescents and nonclinical adults, the MASC scores correlated significantly and meaningfully with the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test scores. In nonclinical adults, the MASC scores showed significant (albeit modest) correlations with self-reported measures of attachment styles. Finally, in adult outpatients, the MASC "no theory of mind (ToM)" scores, which are specific errors that indicating nonmentalistic responses, correlated significantly with interview-based measures (Spearman r = .41, p < .01) and self-reported measures (Spearman r = .37, p < .01) of borderline personality disorder (BPD), as well as with measures of emotion dysregulation, (Spearman r = .37, p < .01). As a whole, these findings highlight the validity of the MASC as a measure of mentalization and are consistent with Fonagy and colleagues' (i.e., Bateman & Fonagy, 2004b; Fonagy, 1991) model of mentalization and its role in personality pathology

Fonagy and Freud:Psychological versus psychic reality
No full textPeter Fonagy and Mary Target present their Playing with Reality theory as a developmental theory centred on the concept of psychic reality. This article compares Fonagy and Target’s use of the concept of psychic reality with Freud’s original concept. It is argued that the concept of psychic reality has been redefined from delineating a psychic reality stemming from the unconscious to denoting a kind of conscious or preconscious psychological reality characterized by an experience of equality between the internal and the external world. The theoretical discussion is illustrated by being applied to eating disorder pathology, which by Fonagy and colleagues is described as associated with thought processes characterized by psychic reality

Mentalizing and Epistemic Trust: The work of Peter Fonagy and colleagues at the Anna Freud Centre
No full textThe theory of mentalizing and epistemic trust introduced by Peter Fonagy and colleagues at the Anna Freud Centre has been an important perspective on mental health and illness. Mentalizing and Epistemic Trust is the first comprehensive account and evaluation of this perspective. The book explores twenty primary concepts that organize the contributions of Fonagy and colleagues: adaptation, aggression, the alien self, culture, disorganized attachment, epistemic trust, hypermentalizing, reflective function, the P factor, pretend mode, the primary unconscious, psychic equivalence, mental illness, mentalizing, mentalization-based therapy, non-mentalizing, the self, sexuality, the social environment, and teleological mode. The biographical and social context of the development of these ideas is examined. The book also specifies the current strengths and limitations of the theory of mentalizing and epistemic trust, with attention to the implications for both clinicians and researchers
Mentalisieren und Lernen von anderen: Ein Paradigma aus Psychotherapie und Pädagogik?
No full textDer Beitrag diskutiert epistemisches Vertrauen als zentrale Voraussetzung für soziales Lernen, psychische Entwicklung und therapeutische Wirksamkeit. Mentalisieren – das Verstehen von Verhalten über zugrundeliegende mentale Zustände – gilt als Mechanismus zur Wiederherstellung
epistemischer Offenheit. In Momenten des „Wir-Modus“, geprägt durch affektive und kognitive Synchronie, kann tiefgreifendes Lernen erfolgen. Psychopathologie wird als Folge gestörten epistemischen Vertrauens verstanden.
Therapeutische und pädagogische Interventionen, die Anerkennung, Kontingenz und gemeinsame Intentionalität fördern, tragen zur Reaktivierung epistemischer Offenheit bei und stärken so Resilienz sowie kulturelle Teilhabe.

The article discusses epistemic trust as a central prerequisite for social learning, psychological development, and therapeutic effectiveness. Mentalizing—the capacity to understand behavior in terms of underlying mental
states—is identified as the key mechanism for restoring epistemic openness.
In moments of “we-mode,” characterized by affective and cognitive synchrony, profound learning becomes possible. Psychopathology is conceptualized as a consequence of disrupted epistemic trust. Therapeutic and educational
interventions that foster recognition, contingency, and shared intentionality
help to reactivate epistemic openness, thereby strengthening resilience and cultural participation
The relationship between parental mentalization and maternal psychopathology: during and after postpartum period
No full textAims: This review aimed to evaluate the literature that examines factors (maternal age, ethnicity, antenatal depressive symptoms and support) in relation to Postpartum Depressive (PPD) symptomatology in adolescent mothers. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using databases PsychINFO, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and Maternity and Infant Care. After inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, 17 studies were identified as suitable for this review.
Results: Results showed antenatal depressive (AND) symptoms and support to be associated with PPD symptoms, but not maternal age or ethnicity. Studies highlighted parental competence and conflict as potentially accounting for the relationship between support and PPD symptoms. Contributing factors to this relationship were relationship status, living arrangement, antenatal expectation and socioeconomic status. Due to most studies being part of a larger project, a broad range of other variables were measured often with limited rationale for their inclusion.
Conclusion: The current literature indicates AND symptoms and support are related to PPD symptoms. However, there remains a lack of specificity to these relationships. Further research is needed to improve our understanding of the interaction between the relevant factors involved
