Cover Story: Traumatic experiences during childhood affect mentalization abilities and lead to psychopathology. Recently, the Failure to Mentalize Trauma Questionnaire (FMTQ), a self-report scale measuring mentalization deficits due to childhood trauma, was developed. However, initial testing of the FMTQ revealed inadequate reliabilities for two factors. This study aimed to create a unidimensional version (FMTQ-s) and investigate its psychometric properties in a non-clinical Italian adult sample. The results supported a 13-item unidimensional version of the FMTQ-s with optimal internal consistency and construct validity. The FMTQ-s obtained scalar invariance between individuals with and without self-reported childhood trauma. Overall, the FMTQ-s appears to be a feasible and reliable tool for assessing deficits in mentalization due to childhood trauma. View this paper
