Psychopathology and Theory of Mind
... in patients with personality disorders
Recent publication
Data from 210 patients, most of whom had borderline personality disorder, were analysed to assess the relationship between Theory of Mind, personality disorders and depression. Standardised questionnaires were used to measure personality disorders and depression. Theory of Mind was assessed by screening selected films. An inflated Theory of Mind could be linked to symptoms of the disease.
The results of the study by the Division of Clinical Psychology were published open access in the journal "Borderline Personality Disorder and Emotion Dysregulation".
