In this three-part Papers Podcast, Professor Jonathan Hill discusses his JCPP paper ‘The social domains organization of mentalizing processes in adolescents: a contribution to the conceptualization of personality function and dysfunction in young people’ (https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.13838).
Part Two focuses on mentalizing, the mentalizing processes, and social domains.
Discussion points include:

• Definition of mentalizing and when the ability to mentalize arises developmentally.
• How the concept of mentalizing relates to personality dysfunction.
• An overview of the social domains hypothesis and how this relates to mentalising.
• The different types of social domains and what is meant by domain disorganisation.
• How do different social domains influence the function and dysfunction of the mentalizing process.

In this series, we speak to authors of papers published in one of ACAMH’s three journals. These are The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP); The Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) journal; and JCPP Advances.
