  • Women’s accounts of treatment for borderline personality disorder in adolescence

    Open AccessAnne Bryde Bryde Christensen, Mie Sedoc Jørgensen et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2026

    Research has established that borderline personality disorder (BPD) can be diagnosed before the age of 18. However, many clinicians are apprehensive about using the diagnosis and treating BPD in adolescence. Specialized treatments have been developed and evaluated for BPD in adolescence. Mentalization-based therapy (MBT) is one of these. However, long-term follow-up studies are lacking, and the potential effects of getting the BPD diagnosis and t…

  • Attachment Problems and Mentalizing Capacity Relate to Parent–Child Informant Discrepancies in Female Adolescents with Borderline Personality Disorder

    Open AccessMie Sedoc Jørgensen, Martin Vestergaard et al.ARTICLEChild Psychiatry & Human…2024

    Parent-child informant discrepancies on psychopathology provide important knowledge on the parent-child relationship and the child's mental health, but mechanisms underlying parent-child informant discrepancies are largely unknown. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between attachment problems and mentalizing capacity and parent-child informant discrepancies on borderline personality disorder (BPD) severity, internalizing, and externaliz…

  • Mentalizing in Adolescents With and Without Prominent Borderline Features

    Signe Hagelskjaer Lund, Sune Bo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality Assessment2023

    The Reflective Functioning Questionnaire for Youths (RFQY) is a self-report measure of reflective functioning (RF) also referred to as mentalizing. Lower levels of RF are characteristic of a wide range of mental disorders and are especially relevant in the assessment of personality pathology. The goal of the current study is to examine the psychometric properties of a Danish translation of the RFQY and to corroborate previous research on the meas…

  • Narrative Identity within Mentalization-Based Group Therapy for Adolescents

    Open AccessMajse Lind, Lennart Kiel et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by severe disturbances related to understanding oneself and other people and can be reliably detected and treated in adolescence. In this feasibility study, we aimed to focus on the features of, and changes in, narrative identity throughout the course of Mentalization-Based Treatment in Groups (MBT-G) for adolescents with BPD. Six female patients (M = 15.2, SD = 0.75) joined between 16 and 31…

  • Maladaptive personality traits may link childhood trauma history to current internalizing symptoms

    Open AccessBo Bach, Sune Bo et al.ARTICLEScandinavian Journal of Psychology2022

    Research supports a strong relationship between childhood maltreatment and internalizing psychopathology (e.g., anxiety and depression), and features of personality are assumed to explain some of this relationship. In this study, we proposed a model in which maladaptive traits mediate the effect of childhood trauma history on internalizing symptoms in adult individuals. A mixed sample ( N = 462) composed of 142 psychiatric patients and 320 commun…

    The 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics (ICD-11) defines personality disorder according to personality functioning, which relates to self- and interpersonal functioning. The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between mentalizing and personality functioning in patients with subthreshold or diagnosed borderline personality disorder. A total of 116 eligible partici…

  • Does Affective Theory of Mind Contribute to Proactive Aggression in Boys with Conduct Problems and Psychopathic Tendencies

    Open AccessSteven M Gillespie, Mickey Kongerslev et al.ARTICLEChild Psychiatry & Human…2018

    Adolescent psychopathic tendencies are associated with phenotypic increases in proactive aggression. However, the extent to which an understanding of others' affective mental states, or affective theory of mind (ToM), contributes to proactive aggression remains unknown. We examined how performance on a well-known test of affective ToM, based on cropped images of the eye region, contributes to reactive and proactive types of aggression in a mixed …
