Our sample included 30 parents who had a child between the ages of 3 and 18 years with a clinical diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and at least one typically developing child. Findings indicated that parents exhibited significantly higher reflective functioning when interacting with their child with autism spectrum disorder versus the typically developing siblings, and the difference was moderated by parental self-efficacy.

A non randomized mentalization intervention for parents of children with autism / Yael ENAV in Autism Research, 12-7 (July 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 12-7 (July 2019) . - p.1077-1086 Titre : A non randomized mentalization intervention for parents of children with autism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Yael ENAV, Auteur ; Dana ERHARD-WEISS, Auteur ; Mirit KOPELMAN, Auteur ; Andrea C. SAMSON, Auteur ; Smita MEHTA, Auteur ; James J. GROSS, Auteur ; Antonio Y. HARDAN, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p.1077-1086 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  emotion regulation  group intervention  mentalization  parents Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) report higher levels of stress and other negative affective states than parents of typically developing children. One important resource in managing these heightened levels of negative affect is emotion regulation, which in turn depends upon the ability to recognize and understand one's own and others' mental states (referred to as mentalization or reflective functioning). In this study, parents of children with ASD either participated in a mentalization-based group intervention (N = 36) or a delayed treatment (N = 28). Compared to delayed treatment participants, parents in the mentalization-based group had increases in reflective functioning and in the belief that emotions can change. Moreover, they reported decreased behavioral and emotional symptoms in their children, and greater parental self-efficacy. These preliminary findings support previous studies, which have shown that mentalization-based interventions for parents lead to positive outcomes, and suggest that these findings may apply to a diverse population of parents such as those of children with broader autism phenotype or children with different neurological disorders. Further studies to evaluate the effects of the intervention are recommended. Autism Res 2019, 12: 1077-1086. (c) 2019 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: In this study, parents of children with ASD participated in a group intervention designed to increase their awareness of mental states (their own and their children's) and to enhance their emotion regulation. Compared to delayed treatment parents, those in the intervention group showed increased awareness of developmental states, and reported increased belief that emotions can change and decreased levels of behavioral and emotional symptoms in their children.

Seeing the Child Within: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Reflective Functioning Intervention for Parents of Autistic Children / Yael ENAV in Autism Research, 19-8 (August 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 19-8 (August 2026) . - p.e70301 Titre : Seeing the Child Within: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Reflective Functioning Intervention for Parents of Autistic Children Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Yael ENAV, Auteur ; Natalia KIRSMAN, Auteur ; Dana ERHARD WEISS, Auteur ; Yael MAYER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.e70301 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  autistic children  online intervention  parental intervention  parental reflective functioning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : ABSTRACT Parents of autistic children often face elevated emotional demands and challenges in interpreting their child's inner experience. Parental reflective functioning (PRF), the capacity to understand behavior in terms of underlying mental states, is considered a key mechanism in fostering emotionally attuned and adaptive caregiving. Despite its importance, few interventions directly target PRF, and fewer still have tested brief, group-based formats designed for broad accessibility. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to evaluate a brief, virtual PRF intervention delivered via Zoom to 249 parents of autistic children. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (n?=?129) or a waitlist control group (n?=?130), and completed assessments at baseline and postintervention. PRF was measured using a standardized interview, while self-report questionnaires assessed parenting self-efficacy, beliefs about emotional malleability, depressive symptoms, and child adaptive functioning. Generalized estimating equations revealed significant time-by-group interactions favoring the intervention group across several outcomes. Relative to controls, intervention participants reported greater gains in reflective functioning, parenting self-efficacy, and emotional beliefs, alongside improvements in children's communication and conceptual adaptive functioning. Effects were most pronounced among parents of younger children. Within the intervention group, additional follow-up assessments indicated sustained benefits on workshop-specific outcomes. Findings support the feasibility and efficacy of brief, scalable PRF-based programs for caregivers of autistic children. To our knowledge, this is the first randomized trial to demonstrate that a short, online, parent-focused intervention can enhance reflective parenting and promote emotional and relational benefits in this population.
