Background: Reflective Functioning (RF) is considered to play a central role in risk and resilience for psychological difficulties such as borderline personality disorder (BPD) and has become an important treatment target of transdiagnostic psychosocial interventions like Mentalization Based Therapy. However, a lack of measures to assess RF in adolescents has hampered research that can further elucidate the role of RF in different types of psychopathology. Objective: The objective of the present study was to examine the validity of the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire for Youth (RFQ-Y), examine the factor structure of the french RFQ-Y, the relationship between RFQ-Y and social cognition, psychological difficulties, BPD and narcissistic personality disorders. Methods: A total of 533 adolescents and young adults (age 12 - 21) from the community completed the RFQ-Y, the Child Behaviour Checklist, the Borderline Personality Features Scale and the Pathological Narcissism Inventory. A subsample of 150 participants completed the Movie for the Assessment of Social Cognition (MASC). Results: Three factors were identified. Uncertainty/confusion was strongly positively correlated with psychological difficulties, especially symptoms of borderline personality disorder. Interest/curiosity was negatively correlated with and psychopathology and Excessive Certainty correlated significantly with grandiose narcissism. RFQ-Y factors correlated more strongly with psychopathology than the MASC scales. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the validity of self-report measures like the RFQ-Y and its utility for identifying problematic styles of mentalizing associated with increased risk of psychopathology in general, as well as difficulties like narcissism in particular.

The concept of reflective functioning has been a major advance in both psychoanalytic and developmental theory. Drawing on much earlier work by pioneers such as Bowlby, as well as concepts such as the observing ego and empathy, it has been embraced by developmental psychologists and psychotherapists for its ability to explain psychopathology as well as to underpin psychotherapy-specifically mentalizationbased therapy. It has been particularly useful in explaining borderline and narcissistic personality disorders. The ability to measure this function has given additional weight to its importance, but existing measures tend to be lengthy and impractical for routine use in clinical settings. In this issue, a group of colleagues from Québec, Canada, in collaboration with Peter Fonagy in London, report their work on measuring reflective function in adolescents using a self-report instrument, the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire for Youth (RFQ-Y). Duval, Ensink, Normandin, Sharp and Fonagy tested the RFQ-Y in a community-based sample of 533 adolescents and young adults, comparing it with established assessment tools (the Child Behaviour Checklist, the Borderline Personality Features Scale and the Pathological Narcissism Inventory) to assess validity. They were able to identify three factors that were correlated with problematic styles of mentalizing associated with increased risk of psychopathology in general, as well as difficulties like narcissism in particular. The authors conclude that self-report measures like the RFQ-Y are potentially helpful for understanding and identifying problematic mentalizing, the measurement of which has implications for clinical intervention.

DOI: 10.2174/2210676608666180508130224 Abstract: Background: Helicopter parenting, a form of over-parenting involving the use of developmentally inappropriate strategies on the offspring, has been associated with depressive symptoms in university students. However, little research has examined the underlying mechanisms of this relationship. Resilience as the process of successful adaptation to adverse circumstances is proposed as a potential mediating factor.
