The social domains organization of mentalizing processes in adolescents: a contribution to the conceptualization of personality function and dysfunction in young people
Open Access paper from the JCPP – ‘Drawing on evidence that social domain organization is impaired in borderline personality disorder (BPD) and that hypermentalizing, a heightened interpretation of others’ motives, thoughts or emotions, is elevated in adolescent BPD, we hypothesized that hypermentalizing levels in adolescents will vary by social domain and that elevated BPD features will be associated with impairment of this domain organization of hypermentalizing.’ Jonathan Hill et al.

However, it is unclear whether this cognitive vulnerability originates earlier in childhood since studies conducted in children are scarce and have inconsistent results.’ Pablo Vidal-Ribas (pic) et al.

Commentary: Optimism and guidance for improving treatment effects among children with callous-unemotional traits – reflections on Perlstein et al. (2023)
Open Access paper from the JCPP – ‘The results of Perlstein et al. (2023) offer the first meta-analytic evidence against the long-held belief that CU traits confer treatment resistance. […] I argue that Perlstein et al. (2023) offer both optimism and guidance for improving treatment effects among children with conduct problems and CU traits’. Georgette E. Fleming (pic)
