本研究探讨了反思功能（RF）能力与轴 II 精神病理学之间的关系，以及它们各自和综合对失业、低收入个人完成工作准备培训以及获得和保留就业的能力的影响。从参与纽约布鲁克林工作准备计划 HOPE 计划的个人中随机挑选的 41 名成年客户参与了当前的研究。结果表明，RF 和 Axis II 病理学不仅相互关联，而且还可以显着预测工作结果。此外，还确定虽然 Axis II 诊断的存在阻碍了参与者获得工作的能力，但这种诊断对工作获得的影响可归因于 RF 能力水平较低。讨论了这些结果对援助失业和服务不足人群的方案和干预措施设计的影响。 （门宁格诊所通报，76 [2], 101-129）
This study examined the relationships between the capacity for reflective functioning (RF) and the presence of Axis II psychopathology and their respective and combined impact on the ability of unemployed, low-income individuals to complete work-readiness training and to obtain and retain employment. Forty-one adult clients selected randomly from individuals participating in The HOPE Program, a work-readiness program in Brooklyn, New York, participated in the current study. Results indicated that RF and Axis II pathology were not only found to be related to each other, but were also found to significantly predict job outcomes. Moreover, it was determined that while the presence of an Axis II diagnosis impeded participants' ability to obtain jobs, the impact of such a diagnosis on job acquisition was attributable to having lower levels of RF ability. These results are discussed in relation to implications for the design of programs and interventions to assist unemployed and underserved populations.
