Unsurprisingly, clinicians and health authorities agree on the importance of early detection and treatment of any mental health issues experienced by the preschool child. This is even more important and challenging as young children do not yet have the language skills necessary to express their distress. But do the caregivers in charge of these populations have the best tools at their disposal to carry out that important mission in an efficient and scientifically robust manner reflecting the latest research findings and scientific literature? This is the question we try to answer in this paper.</p></div><div><h3>Method</h3><p>We revisited the theoretical underpinnings behind the concept of mentalization as playing a key role in the ability to understand the other's inner reality. We then carried out an extensive review of scientific papers written over the past 30 years on the subject. We examined mental representations of the adult on the child and analyzed those mentalizations as key inputs. We focused on extracting cross analyses of the mentalizations of one child by several adults with different functions in the life of the child. In this process, we used the PRISMA methodology applied to large international medical databases.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>We found that the qualitative approach, usually associated with a lengthy process, has been overwhelmingly used in trying to assess patients’ mental states and to analyze the mentalizations on the patient, adult or child. Furthermore, cross analyses of mentalizations from more than one adult on a given child were almost nonexistent, despite having high epistemic and clinical potential.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>There is a dearth of reliable quantitative tools, able to capture and analyze the mentalizations on a patient, that are scientifically robust, transposable, and easy to implement in a clinical setting. The absence of such tools for medical professionals in charge of assessing preschool children contributes, in our view, the low detection and poor treatment of mental disorders in that particularly vulnerable population. We believe there is here an urgent unmet need and that such tools should be designed, validated, and deployed into the target populations as early as possible.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39666,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychiatrie de l''Enfance et de l''Adolescence","volume":"72 4","pages":"Pages 182-193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0222961724000795/pdfft?md5=d61f7e8f31b298e59b081e151e421a70&pid=1-s2.0-S0222961724000795-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141023666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theoretical-clinical analysis of the transferential productions and positioning of the subject points to the possibility of emergence, at the initiative of the adolescent, of a place of address allowing this passage from an almost delusional private scenario to an authentic creation addressed to another becoming a witness to the authorship of the creation initiated by the subject. Therefore, the act of creation as addressed can be thought of as a possible compensatory elaboration coming to mask the deleterious effects of the lack of symbolic inscription of the psychotic adolescent. The act of compensatory creation, by generating a possible identity, even purely functional and stereotypical, for the subject thus allows the psychotic adolescent to once again enter into a bond with the other in a more peaceful manner.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39666,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychiatrie de l''Enfance et de l''Adolescence","volume":"72 4","pages":"Pages 175-181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140463564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, we describe the characteristics of the TO to understand how parents/educators use it and to assess its efficiency. The results show that the TO is not an isolated educational strategy but is included in a more comprehensive process with a <em>before</em> (establishment of the educational framework, rules to be followed) and an <em>after</em> (debriefing, explanations of inappropriate behavior) called time-in. Thus, it is difficult to assess the effectiveness of a TO without considering a wider temporality, including time-in. Moreover, the age of the child, the TO's duration and any behavioral or mental problems in the dyad child/parent are important factors that highlight the plurality of the TO. Further scientific research is necessary to assess its effectiveness considering the epidemiological characteristics of each protagonist. We need to look more closely at which TO is the best for which child and by which parent.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":39666,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychiatrie de l''Enfance et de l''Adolescence","volume":"72 4","pages":"Pages 151-156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0222961724000540/pdfft?md5=af4cecd7de7c2aa52006d1e347a1af90&pid=1-s2.0-S0222961724000540-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140764843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author highlights the need to differentiate cases in which there are two contradictory representations of a same event from those in which distinct models exist for different relationships, the latter case – unlike the former – not being pathological. This conceptualization enables a finer examination of attachment processes in both practice and research. The Attachment Multiple Model Interview (AMMI) is presented with examples in clinical and research settings. It is now possible to disentangle the relative contribution of attachment to each figure whether with the mother, the father, another attachment figure (for example among placed children or among the elderly), a therapist, or a romantic partner. In addition to each one's specific role and their additive effects, the interaction effects of these different attachments can also account for counterbalancing mechanisms (resilience) in psychological development.
