Résumé
Les méthodes d’évaluation de la mentalisation sont majoritairement complexes, requièrent une lourde formation ou un temps de passation/cotation important, ce qui en limite l’application. L’objet de cet article est de présenter le Mental States Task (MST; Beaulieu-Pelletier, Bouchard, & Philippe, 2013), un outil innovateur pratique développé afin de contrer ces limites (sans cotation et facile d’utilisation) et ayant l’avantage de s’adapter à différents domaines d’investigation et enjeux psychologiques. Le MST évalue les états mentaux par le biais de la qualité de l’élaboration mentale et l’ouverture à l’expérience subjective.

Abstract
Most of mentalization measures are complex, they require extensive training, and the administration/rating is time-consuming, all of which limit their application. The aim of the paper is to present the Mental States Task (MST; Beaulieu-Pelletier, Bouchard, & Philippe, 2013), an innovative practical instrument developed in order to avoid those limits (no coding and easy administration) and which has the advantage to be adapted to different domains of investigation and psychological issues. The MST assesses mental states via the quality of mental elaboration and openness toward subjective experience.
