Mentalizing, recognized as the capacity to understand behaviors in the context of our own mental states and those of other people, is being researched more and more commonly in regard to various mental disorders. The research on mentalization focuses on, among other things, borderline personality disorder, which is at present perceived as an emerging problem in the population of adolescents. In order to summarize the currently accessible knowledge of mentalizing in adolescents with borderline personality disorder, we thoroughly analyzed relevant publications. Based on the available literature, it can be concluded that the mentalizing ability of adolescents with borderline personality disorder can be impaired. The evidence demonstrates that they are prone to hypermentalizing, defined as an overattribution of mental states to other people. However, this tendency has not been proven to be specific to teenagers with this disorder. Moreover, the existing data suggest that young people with borderline personality exhibit a reduced capacity to mentalize their own inner states.
心理化被认为是一种在我们自身心理状态以及他人心理状态的背景下理解行为的能力，目前针对各种精神障碍对其进行研究的情况越来越普遍。心理化研究尤其关注边缘型人格障碍，目前它被视为青少年群体中一个新出现的问题。为了总结目前关于边缘型人格障碍青少年心理化的可获取知识，我们对相关出版物进行了全面分析。基于现有文献可以得出结论，边缘型人格障碍青少年的心理化能力可能受损。证据表明，他们倾向于过度心理化，即对他人过度归因心理状态。然而，这种倾向尚未被证明是患有这种障碍的青少年所特有的。此外，现有数据表明，边缘型人格障碍的年轻人对自身内在状态进行心理化的能力有所下降。
