Authors: Figueiredo M.H. , Claúdia P.D.L. , Moreira F. , Lebreiro M. , Guimarães F. 
Published: June 2017

IntroductionThe developments of familiar therapy allows a systemic (collaborative) approach centered in what functions best in the system, integrating action plans which presupposes a family appreciation concept as a transformer system.Objectives/aimsPresentation of a family clinical case (X family) in which one of the members is diagnosed with “elective mutism”, this being labelled as a “a family problem” which led to familiar therapy.MethodsIn the therapeutic process we use a number of resources centered in family strengths as strategies directed to the solution and system change. We incorporate an innovating strategy, which we call “differentiated spectularity”, trying to make something different based on therapy concepts centered on solutions. The presentation of exceptions and the use of scales allowed us to monitor the change process.ResultsThe strategy materialization, where family members in their family environment saw the film of their latest session in a favourable context for the enlargement of their own vision as a family, allowed change expansion amplifying its complexity. The family members perceive themselves as having a moderate cohesion level, increasing the levels of adaptability, which places the X family in a “balanced” class. The family member with a diagnosis of elective mutism, after six months of family therapy, showed changes in withdrawal, anxiety and shyness behaviour.ConclusionsSharing family members different versions allows us to tell the story over and over again. The questioning emerging from the pro-active mirror effect is the core element of the change registered with incidence in the emotional and behaviour domains.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Published: June 2017

IntroductionThere is a higher incidence of borderline personality disorder (BPD) in families and offspring of people with the disorder, suggesting that both genetic and environmental factors are vulnerable to the condition that is passed from generation to generation.ObjectivesIdentify the parenting strategies used by these mothers as potential targets for psychological intervention.MethodLiterature review of the scientific literature.ResultsThe literature shows that mothers with BPD often have very characteristic parenting practices and that they are conditioned by what is inherent to BPD – oscillations between a search for excessive control of the other person for fear of abandonment and neglect behaviors, attachment insecure or disorganized. They are between extremes of over-involvement and lack of involvement with the child, that is, mothers who show themselves in some cold, avoidant and rejecting moments and in others that are excessively demanding, invasive and over-involved with the child, consistently denoting a pattern. Of relationship that goes from one end to the other.ConclusionsAttachment-based interventions work through corrective experiences in the therapeutic relationship, work on their attachment style, giving the mother an opportunity to reflect on her own childhood experiences with her caregivers and how they led her to Have an insecure or disorganized attachment, while being encouraged to connect these reflections with your current experiences with your child.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Published: June 2017

IntroductionThe investigation of sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) concept has renewed interest in recent years. Apart from previous studies linking SCT items to ADHD, current research now shows further evidence for the relationship between SCT items and impairment in several domains. Despite it is not a clinical entity, SCT items are often seen in clinical child and adolescent psychiatric populations and, thus, further investigation of these symptoms is clearly needed both in clinical and in community samples.ObjectivesOur aim was to investigate the relations between SCT items and psychiatric symptoms, as well as psychosocial and academic functioning in a large general population sample of adolescents.MethodsFifteen-year old adolescents from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 (n = 9432) completed a postal questionnaire on their health and well-being with a participation rate of 80%. The questionnaire included the Youth Self Report (YSR) which has the following SCT items: I feel confused or in a fog, I daydream a lot, and, I don’t have much energy, as well as items constructing the subscales depressed/anxious, withdrawn, somatic complains, social problems, thought problems, attention problems, rule-breaking behavior, and aggressive behavior.Preliminary resultsAround 8% of adolescents rated themselves above the 90% cut-off in the sum score of SCT items. They also reported more symptoms in all YSR subscales, lower grade marks in academic field, less friends, and lower life satisfaction than adolescents scoring below the 90% cut-off.ConclusionSCT may relate to various psychiatric problems and reduced psychosocial well-being.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

IntroductionPerceived autonomy (PA) can be considered as the key mediating variable in promoting intrinsic motivation. Therefore, an environment that encourages autonomy increases intrinsic motivation and leads to continuance intention.ObjectivesThe main purpose of this study was to assess the social conditions which give rise to autonomous forms of motivation.MethodsWe led a transversal study, over four months, from June until September 2016. It included 90 adolescents aged 14–20 years and members of voluntary association in Sfax (Tunisia). PA was assessed using the “perceived autonomy in life domains” (PALD) for the life spheres of leisure, interpersonal relationships, school, and general domains.ResultsThe average age of participants was 16 (14 to 20 years). The sample was female-dominated (53%). All participants were secondary school pupils. Almost 70% were from a high socioeconomic level and over 60% had parents’ high level of education.The mean scores of PA ranged from 117 (SD = 4.5) in general domain to 15 (SD = 4.5) in school domain.There was a significant correlation between PA and parents’ level of education (P = 0.01), parental relationship (P = 0.01), level of family communication (P = 0.00), giving compliments (P = 0.01) and rights in decision-making (P = 0.05). The other factors that significantly enhance PA were having a good network of friends (P = 0.01) and having sports and extracurricular activities (P = 0.03).ConclusionThe present findings provide additional support for the synergistic relationship between family dynamics and family relationship perceptions and PA, and emphasize the role of parents to encourage autonomy.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Delusional hyperthyroidism-A case report
Authors: Cotter M. , Domingues S. , Amado I. , Massano R. 
Published: June 2017

IntroductionDisorders of endocrine function are among the most common etiology of psychiatric illness.The link between psychosis and hyperthyroidism is still poorly understood. We report an unusual presentation of hyperthyroidism as a psychotic state. Careful history, physical examination, and laboratory investigation, including thyroid function tests, should be part of the assessment of patients with any unexplained acute psychosis to detect this potentially curable disease. In this way, this article analyzes the psychiatric, physical and laboratory findings associated with hyperthyroidism and treatment.ObjectivesTo report a case of psychosis in a patient with endocrine disease.MethodsClinical records. Research on PubMed and Medscape using the Mesh Terms “hyperthyroidism”, “psychosis” and “thyroid and psychiatric manifestations”.ResultsWe present the case of a male patient, previously followed on our ambulatory psychiatric service for drug-induced psychosis. He was hospitalized due to psychotic symptoms, without substance abuse. Inpatient evaluation diagnosed hyperthyroidism. The patient did not present any somatic changes, except for psychosis. The patient was effectively treated with antipsychotics. He was referred to further evaluation and started antithyroid therapy.ConclusionsThyroid disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a broad spectrum of psychiatric symptoms. Psychosis is a rare complication of hyperthyroidism, ranging between 1–20%. The typical psychosis is reported to simulate manic-depressive psychosis. This association reinforces the need of a careful clinical evaluation in patients presenting with psychosis. Such psychiatric symptoms remit successfully with concomitant administration of antipsychotics and normalization of thyroid levels.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Misophonia is characterized by aversive reactivity to repetitive and pattern based auditory stimuli [1]. Misophonic sufferers demonstrate autonomic nervous system arousal, accompanied by heightened emotional distress. Sufferers describe extreme irritation, anger, and aggressive urge with physiological reactions including hypertonia, diaphoresis and tachycardia [2]. Some studies have found comorbidity with psychiatric disorders. However, most of these studies used small samples and few experimental methodologies [3]. This study identifies the possible relationship between misophonia and affective disorders, and any difference between the severity of misophonia in male and female patients. Fifty misophonic patients (female = 25, mean age = 46.28) were evaluated with Amsterdam Misophonia Scale (A-MISO-S) for the diagnosis of misophonia and with the M.I.N.I International Neuropsychiatric Interview for the diagnosis of affective disorders. Among n = 50 misophonic patients, we found major depression (MDD) = 11, melancholic depression = 5, dysthymia = 11, suicidality = 10, manic = 3, panic disorder = 8, agoraphobia = , social phobia = , obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) = 14, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) = 15. Misophonia was associated with MDD (U = 76, P = .001), suicidality (U = 67, P = .001), OCD (U = 115, P = .002) and PTSD (U = 142.5, P = .008). There was an indication of a significant difference between men and women in severity of misophonia (U = 160.5, P = .002). The presence of these varying affective disorders suggests that the sufferers are at high risk for affective disorders. Investigation of the co-morbidity will assist researchers to better understand the nature of the symptoms and how they may be interacting.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
