Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The current research concept of mentalization is used in the study to clearly identify affective and cognitive abilities of the caregiver-child dyad with the aim of compensating deficits on both sides with psychological-psychotherapeutic strategies.
UNASSIGNED: The objective of this explorative, longitudinal intervention study is to provide an in-depth understanding of the psycho-social background of 30 children aged 6-12 years living in institutional or family-centered foster care. Data will be collected at three time points: before, after and 12 months after participating in the newly developed group intervention, which intends to address the particular needs of children of drug abusing parents living in foster care in the latency period. The study is conducted at the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Vienna in collaboration with the Association \"Dialogue\" (Verein Dialog). The treatment duration spans 5 months, during which two specifically trained psychotherapists conduct 10 group sessions for children and three group sessions for foster caregivers. All statistical analyses will consider the type of data available. Therefore, the primary outcome of the study will be assessed via the Friedman test due to the ordinal dependent variable as it is the non-parametric alternative to the one-way ANOVA for repeated measures. In addition, the Mann-Whitney U test is used to compare differences between two independent groups (children living in institutional foster care vs. family foster care). To assess potential correlations regarding the child and caregivers\' capacity to mentalize, Spearman correlations (ρ) are conducted. To examine the secondary outcome, apart from the methods previously outlined, we will also utilize qualitative thematic analysis.
UNASSIGNED: The present study uses the current research concept of mentalization to identify affective and cognitive abilities of the caregiver-child dyad with the aim of compensating deficits on both sides with psychological-psychotherapeutic strategies. There are some limitations of the study to mention: the small sample size does not allow to generalize the results. Due to the lack of a comparison group, a randomized control study (RCT) was not conducted. The authors are aware of these limitations. However, the studies\' findings, will help to deduce research questions for further studies.

摘要：
■在研究中使用了当前的研究概念，以清楚地识别照顾者-儿童二元的情感和认知能力，目的是通过心理心理治疗策略来补偿双方的缺陷。
■这个探索性的目标，纵向干预研究旨在深入了解30名6-12岁儿童的心理社会背景，这些儿童生活在以机构或家庭为中心的寄养中。数据将在三个时间点收集：在参与新开发的团体干预后和12个月后，旨在解决在潜伏期生活在寄养机构中的药物滥用父母的儿童的特殊需求。该研究是在维也纳大学心理学系与协会“对话”（VereinDialog）合作进行的。治疗持续时间为5个月，在此期间，两名受过专门培训的心理治疗师为儿童进行了10次小组会议，为寄养者进行了3次小组会议。所有统计分析都将考虑可用数据的类型。因此,由于序数因变量是重复测量的单向方差分析的非参数替代方法,因此本研究的主要结局将通过Friedman检验进行评估.此外,Mann-WhitneyU检验用于比较两个独立组之间的差异(住在寄养机构的儿童与家庭寄养)。为了评估关于儿童和照顾者的潜在相关性，进行斯皮尔曼相关(ρ)。为了检查次要结果，除了前面概述的方法，我们还将利用定性主题分析。
■本研究使用当前的研究概念来识别照顾者-儿童二元的情感和认知能力，目的是通过心理心理治疗策略来补偿双方的缺陷。该研究有一些局限性：小样本量不允许推广结果。由于缺乏对照组，未进行随机对照研究(RCT).作者意识到了这些局限性。然而,研究发现，将有助于推断进一步研究的研究问题。
