Mentalization Profiles of Adolescents with Internalizing Disorders: Domain-specific Differences Compared to Typically Developing Adolescents
Overview
This study compares mentalization profiles between 83 adolescents with internalizing disorders and 83 typically developing peers in India using standardized assessment scales. The results indicate that the clinical group exhibited significantly lower self-mentalization and overall mentalization ability, while other-mentalization and motivation to mentalize did not differ significantly from the control group. Correlations were observed between mentalization scores and symptom severity measures, suggesting domain-specific impairments associated with internalizing conditions.
