What this trial studies
This study aims to characterize the mentalization profiles and emotional regulation capacities of adolescents aged 12 to 17 who exhibit externalized behavioral disorders. By integrating psychological assessments with physiological parameters, the research seeks to uncover the underlying psychopathological processes that contribute to these disorders. The approach focuses on understanding how these adolescents interpret their own behaviors and those of others, particularly in the context of their relationships with parents. This comprehensive characterization is essential for developing appropriate psychological care strategies for this vulnerable population.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are teenagers aged 12 to 17 with externalized behavioral disorders such as running away, self-aggression, or aggressive behavior.
Not a fit: Patients with intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, or psychotic disorders may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved psychological care and interventions for adolescents with behavioral disorders.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific approach of integrating mentalization and physiological parameters is novel, similar studies have shown promise in understanding behavioral disorders in adolescents.
