Mentalizing in Clinical Practice
Working with Children Whose Mother is Suffering from Psychotic Symptoms
Many studies have confirmed that the most important factor in the mental health of children and adolescents is the quality of the relationship with their parents/caregivers. Nadja Rolli, a CPC member, has written a paper about how a mental illness - specifically psychosis - impacts the mental health of her children. The paper focuses on the current theoretical and clinical understanding how the state of mind of a mother influences the attachment behaviour and self-regulation abilities of the child.
