Abstract

Mentalization has been proposed as an important element for psychotherapeutic processes. In some patient groups, such as adolescent patients, it could be assumed that the impact of mentalization in psychotherapy may be more important because of its relation to the achievement of evolutionary tasks. The literature reveals evidence that partially supports the role of mentalization as moderator, mediator and content of change in psychotherapy with adults. This article will explore the evidence regarding the role of mentalization as a mechanism of change in psychotherapy for adolescents with problems related to the diffusion of identity, with the premise that a greater understanding of how therapeutic changes occur can optimize the way in which treatments are carried out.
