Introduction: Childhood trauma can lead to extensive psychological problems in adulthood due to various structures, so exploration and intervention in these structures can be of vital importance in treating the problems of people with childhood trauma. In this regard, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of mentalization-based treatment on epistemic trust, emotional dysregulation, and impulsivity in adults with childhood trauma.
Methods: The current study was a semi-experimental type with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. Among the people who experienced childhood trauma and referred to clinics and counseling centers in Tehran, 30 people were selected using convenience sampling method and randomly replaced in two experimental groups and a control group (15 people). The experimental group received 20 sessions of mentalization-based therapy, but the control group received no specific intervention. The research tools were: Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Epistemic Trust, Mistrust, and Credulity Questionnaire, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, and Barratt Impulsiveness Scale. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance test.
Results: The results of the research showed that the treatment based on mentalization is effective in optimally increasing epistemic trust and reducing emotional dysregulation and impulsivity in adults with childhood trauma (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Considering the confirmation of the effectiveness of mentalization-based therapy on the treatment of adults with childhood trauma, it is suggested that therapists consider this therapy to optimally increase epistemic trust and reduce emotional dysregulation and impulsivity in adults with childhood trauma.
