Description of the research topic:
Mentalization is the ability to attribute mental states (intentions, desires, beliefs, emotions) to others and oneself. This ability has a crucial role in social interactions, as it allows the understanding and prediction of social behaviour. Marked and stable mentalization deficits are present in schizophrenia that significantly influence the outcome of the disorder. Some preliminary data suggest that the mentalization performance can be improved by appropriate therapeutic approach. The aim of the PhD work is the study of therapeutic tools that result in an improvement in the mentalization performance in schizophrenia.
