Reply to comment by InternetPeon in Training does not improve clinical psychology students’ mentalization abilities, study finds by lolfuys
The study says that freshmen think they're hot shit when it comes to mentalization, and after their studies they think the same. They don't think higher of themselves. But is that because of their naiveté as freshmen, or because the training failed? Impossible to tell.

The study is entirely based on "self reported" skills. I have no idea how that is supposed to be an objective measure of metallization. For example. Psychology students think they are hot shit, then train for some years, but reportedly "don't think they have better mentalization", that is, they don't report being better.
But the effect could simply be that they overestimated their abilities as freshmen, and their studies made them aware that the world is more complex than they thought. Thus humbling them.

I was using it for some severe, unbridled PTSD after working hospice as a nurse and then four years as a suicide investigator. I’m now a felon because of a first time possession charge. Gotta love Kentucky.

That's weird. My current therapy appointments are working much better for me then all the antidepressants and what not were. Funny how it all shakes out!

I agree with you, and it makes me wonder about the potential risks/ramifications of newly graduated students having their first experiences with trauma be second hand through their patients. And in turn, how that might affect the patients care if their doctors were in fact affected.

Most clinical psychologists don't prescribe medication. I think the study is saying that mentalisation is an inherent ability possibly improved through actual practise rather than training.

I can tell you adderall works 100x better than my biweekly therapist visits. But I digress.

This is basically talking about cognitive empathy, which generally can only be improved through increasing things self awareness and/or working through personal traumas.

“Mitigates the need for other prescription medication” is a weird and long way to say it’s effective at pain relief.

Reply to comment by pencock in The discovery of fossils dating back 250.8 million years near the Guizhou region of China suggests that complex ecosystems were present on Earth just one million years after the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, which is much earlier than previously thought. by Wagamaga
In astronomical terms, 250 million years is 1.085 galactic years.

“Mentalization is the ability to understand the mental states of oneself and others” is the first line in the article. I don’t think this can be trained into a person. You can’t “train” someone into understanding. Experience and contemplation (of yourself), also teaches you about others, not training

Exactly! THAT was the first thing that came to mind when I read this post! This discovery could be a really big deal for addicts one day. Exciting research if you ask me!

Are you telling me my psychiatrist has no idea what they’re doing despite training?

Not a psychologist, but
> the ability to understand one’s own behavior, and the behavior of others
It doesn’t sound like that’s what they mean.
In fact it sounds like a pretty fundamental ability for a psychologist to possess.

Yawl ever been so high all the bad feels good? I have. I agree with this study.
Never slept so well in my entire life; why did I quit smoking?

I love how the cock of human history keeps getting longer, further deepthroating the zealots into a gurgling spasm.
