Mentalizacja jako czynnik ochronny pomiędzy pozabezpiecznym przywiązaniem a rozwojem zaburzeń psychopatologicznych

Mentalization as a Protective Factor between Insecure Attachment and the Development of Psychopathological Disorders The development of mental disorders in adults has its roots in the early childhood experiences. Transmitted from generation to generation, an insecure attachment impairs the ability to mentalize, which plays a special role in the processing of traumatic injuries and the healing process. The aim of the article is to show the development of mental disorders in children and adults; to present mentalization as a protective factor in the transmission of insecure attachment, as well as to indicate clinical implications.
