However, a growing body of evidence supports the notion that the construct
of mentalization includes several components which are only partially correlated to each other (Fonagy et al., 2012).
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to compare the same operationalization
of mentalization, namely RF, in mothers and their children by using the narratives about attachment in close family relationships both for mothers and for children.
In this study, we focused on reflective functioning (RF), a definite operationalization
of mentalization that was suggested by Fonagy and Target (1997) in the context of the attachment theory.
Furthermore, findings from the current study provide a fresh contribution to the research in this field, in that previous studies investigated the relationship between maternal and child mentalization comparing indeed different components (e.g., mind - mindedness, emotional understanding, ToM, mental - state talk) of the multifaceted construct
of mentalization in mothers and in children.

Early studies assumed that since secure children feel an inner sense

mentalization system (Fonagy, 2006; Fonagy and Target, 2008).
