Authors: Hansen N.W. , Reinhardt S.M. 
Published: July 2013

AimTo investigate the characteristics of the aggressive in-patient in a Danish forensic hospital.Material and methodThe study was conducted in a forensic psychiatric setting at Psychiatric Centre Sankt Hans. It utilizes data from the three year period between 2008 and 2010. Staff Observation Aggression Scale - Revised (SOAS-R) is used to examine all aggressive incidents during the period mentioned.Results212 patients were admitted between 2008 and 2010, the majority of which being mainly men (98.6%) with a diagnosis within ICD10 F20-F29 (79.7%). In total there were 1507 recorded aggressive incidents, and 63.2% of the patients were registered with at least one incident of aggression. Ethnic minorities were overrepresented in comparison to the background population (37.3% vs. 9.5%).We found that Danish-born patients were more frequently aggressive compared to ethnic minorities (OR 1.8 p = 0.029), and that alcohol/substance abuse was a predictor of aggression (OR 3.47 p =< 0.001). According to age we found that the aggressive patient was significant younger compared to the non-aggressive patient (p = 0.043).ConclusionAggression is a prevalent phenomenon in a forensic psychiatry setting. Patients with at least one aggressive incident as recorded in the SOAS-R are characterized by being male, Danish and abusing. In addition schizophrenia is the most frequent diagnosis in forensic psychiatry at Psychiatric Center Sankt Hans.

Published: July 2013

AimAnalysis of barriers regarding the attendance of the health care system under consideration of cultural- and migrationrelated factors.MethodCross-sectional survey with immigrants from Turkey (n = 77), Spain (n = 67), Italy (n = 95) and German resettlers from the former Soviet Union (n = 196), recruited on migration and addiction services of the German Caritasverband, the Arbeiterwohlfahrt and migrant organizations.ResultsSpanish and Italian immigrants mainly search for help in their families and social environment. Immigrants from the former Soviet Union use home remedies and experience more linguistic difficulties as barriers for the use of health services, just like Turkish immigrants. Turkish immigrants reported feeling misunderstood regarding their cultural peculiarities by the expert staff as another main barrier. Other major influence factors were German language proficiency and the subjective wellbeing in Germany.ConclusionThe consideration of cultural-related as well as linguistic factors in health care services is an essential contribution for improving health care of immigrants.

IntroductionLiterature has shown that early childhood experiences, especially those related to feelings of threat or safeness play a key role in emotional and social subsequent development.Objectives(1)examine the impact of early memories of warmth and safeness on quality of attachment in adolescents;(2)Explore the relationship between early positive memories, self-compassion and psychopathology (depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms);(3)Explore the relative contribution of emotional memories and self-compassion in the prediction of depressive and anxiety symptoms.Methods651 adolescents (330 boys, 50.7%) aged between 12 and 18 years (M = 15.89, SD = 1.99), completed the early memories of warmth and safeness scale (EMWSS), self-compassion scale (SCS), attachment questionnaire (AQ-C) and anxiety, depression and stress scales (DASS-21).ResultsMemories of warmth and safeness showed negative moderate correlations with anxiety and depressive symptoms, and positive moderate association with self-compassion. Additionally, positive emotional memories in childhood revealed adequate discriminant validity for attachment style. Adolescents classified with a secure attachment style showed significantly more early memories of warmth and safeness than those teenagers with insecure attachment (ambivalent or avoidance). Early positive memories and self-compassion have a significant and an independent contribution on the prediction of anxiety and depressive symptoms in adolescent community.ConclusionsThe present study shows that the recall of emotional memories in childhood (e.g., feelings of warmth and safeness) is associated with self-compassion, as an emotion regulation process. So, these two variables may function as protective factors in the development of depressive and anxiety symptoms in adolescence.

ObjectiveTo demonstrate whether the communication between two SD rats base on the similar genetic basis or the same living environment, who separated (including visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory and tasting inputs)from each other, occurs.MethodsOne SD rat (RECEIVER) was examined by EEG spectral analysis and ECG analysis under anesthesia while the other SD rat (SENDER) received optimal stimuli or malignant stimuli. The course was conducted in the shielded and the unshielded. Compare the EEG and ECG of RECEIVER between the stimulation state and resting state of SENDER.ResultsThis study show no significant difference in EEG (index: percentile weight and average weight of EEG on frontal lobe, temporal lobe, hippocampus of each frequency band) and ECG (index: R, PR segment, ST segment, QRS segment, QT segment) of RECEIVER during the time that the SENDER suffered from malignant stimulation, experienced optimal stimulation and of resting state.ConclusionThe communication of SD rats, not through common five sense organ may not exist, even though the same genetic basis or the common living surrounding.The optimal stimuli and the malignant stimuli of SENDER cannot influence the EEG of Frontal lobe, temporal lobe, hippocampus and ECG on RECEIVER. There is no sufficient evidence for the existence of this communication of animal.

IntroductionResearch has suggested that individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) are twice as likely to suffer from depression, compared with the general population. In addition, women with DM show increased risk for developing depression or depressive symptomsObjectivesTo compare the self evaluation DM patients with depression, anxiety and stress scale (DASS).AimsTo reveille the possible gender differences, regarding depression anxiety and stress in DM.Methods272 DM patients (74(27.2%) males / 198(72.8%) females), in two outpatients’ clinics in Athens-Greece took part in the study. DASS was used for the evaluation of depression. Statistical analysis was were performed with SPSS-16.0.ResultsWomen had a significantly higher mean score (MA = 6.9 ± 7.2) in anxiety and depression (MD = 8.1 ± 7.4) than men (MA = 4.8 ± 4.6) and (MD = 4.7 ± 5.6), (T = -2.543 p < .05) and (T = -2.812 p < .05) respectively. Women had also a significant difference concerning depression comorbidity, with more women (21,2%) suffering from depressive disorder than men (5,4%), chi square test = 9.578 p < .05.ConclusionsAnalysis revealed that female gender is a significant risk factor for negative feelings and depressive comorbidity among patients with DM.

Migraine is one of the problems that has debilitating pain, and effects on all aspects of life, including the function of the academic, social and family life of patients. Smith (1996), also, has been shown the effects of migraine on family members such as patient's relationships with spouse, children and other family members.In addition migraineurs tend to have high levels of depression and anxiety, and migraine headaches have a profoundly negative impact on sufferers’ quality of life (Johari Fard, 2011).In this research we investigated the regressions of cognitive, personality and family variables with migraine headache, to find predictor variables of migraine.In this study, we used these questionnaires: For migraine: six-item Headache Impact Test (HIT-6;Kosinski et al, 2003), Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire; Christine et al, 2012). For cognitive variables: Irrational Beliefs Test; (Jones, 1968) and Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale; (Beck et al, 1991),for personality variables: NEO inventory (Mccrae & Costa, 1985) for family variables: Family Assessment Device (Epstein et al,1983).This project was on 58 women with migraine headache, diagnosed by neurologist. The findings show that, there is significant regression between cognitive, personality and family variables and HIT-6. In cognitive variables: frustration reactivity, anxious overconcern, in personality variables, extraversion trait and in family variables, affective involvement are significant. Also, there is significant regression between cognitive, personality and family variables and MSQ.In cognitive variables: frustration reactivity, anxious overconcern, and helplessness, in personality variables, agreeableness and consciousness and in family variables, affective involvement and general functioning are significant.

IntroductionRecently the cognitive profile of restrictive anorexia nervosa patients, particularly visuospatial and constructive abilities, raised the interest of researchers as a maintenance factor of the disorder. This study focuses specifically on the impairment of these complex executive functions.Materials and methodsOnly patients hospitalized in our department for restrictive anorexia nervosa restrictive type (AN-R) could participate in the study. They had to fulfill self-report questionnaires assessing anxiety and depression and had to achieve a battery of neuropsychological tests (the Rey Complex Figure (RCF), the Hayling Sentence Completion Test (HSCT) and the span test).Results21 patients participated in the study. The average age was 20.62 years (σ = 5.39) and body mass index (BMI) was 14.67 (σ = 0.93). In this sample, the distribution of the copy of the RCF corresponds to the normal distribution for age 7 to 12 years. Visual memory (recall of the RCF) is impaired. The inhibition score of the HSCT is higher than normal. The mean score on the span task is at −0.68 standard derivation. Only the inhibition score of the HSCT is positively correlated with BMI (r = 0.46).DiscussionThese results highlight a lack of visuospatial and visuoconstructive capacities and a lack of cognitive inhibition in patients with AN-R. These results can be integrated in an impairment of central coherence. Therapeutic perspectives that emerge would focus on the central coherence, i.e cognitive remediation. It is then necessary to improve knowledge on the cognitive profile.

IntroductionPatients with schizophrenia have elevated rates of cigarette smoking, and difficulty in smoking cessation. Cigarette smoking may reduce plasma levels of antipsychotics up to 50%.ObjectiveTo investigate effects of cigarette smoking in olanzapine treatment of schizophrenia.Methods91 patients with schizophrenia, aged 18-51, were divided into four groups. Control group (25 patients) and experimental groups: E1, 1-20 cigarettes/24h (23 patients), E2, 21-40 cigarettes/24h (22 patients) and E3, 40+ cigarettes/24h (21 patients). Patients were observed for one year period. Patients were assessed by Positive and Negative Symptom Schedule Scale (PANSS) at baseline and after one year.ResultsNo significant differences were found for PANSS score at baseline (p = 0.535). PANSS reduction at study endpoint was significant in all groups (p < 0.001). PANSS reduction was highest in non-smokers group 65.5%, and lowest in group of heavy smokers (40+ cigarettes/24h) 39.2%. There is a statistically significant difference in PANSS reduction between nonsmokers group and all smokers groups (p < 0.001). There is a statistically significant difference in PANSS reduction between E1 and E2, and E1 and E3 group (p < 0.001), and no difference between E2 and E3 group (p = 0.414). There is a statistically significant difference in olanzapine average daily dose after one year between non-smokers group and all smokers groups (p < 0.001).ConclusionsOlanzapine therapy is most efficient in non-smokers group. Smoking more than 20 cigarettes per day significantly reduces effects of olanzapine therapy. Average daily dose of olanzapine is significantly lower in non-smokers group than in all three groups of smokers.

IntroductionParasuicidals behaviour is an urgent state in psychiatry and it occurs in different forms as the first or recidival attempt.AimThe aim is to prove the difference in frequency in presuicidal conditions together with sociodemographical and psychopathological predictors during the period from January 1st 2001 to December 31st 2010.MethodSubjects have been divided into two groups depending of the way they Parasuicidals behaviour: violent (N = 75) and nonviolent (N = 75) in multicentric prospective observation in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). The following instruments have been premortally used: list of general data (ICD-10 criteria); personal features test (EPQ-Eysenck HJ); test of depressiveness (HDRS-Hamilton M); emotional index test (P.I.E. Plutchik R) and postmor-tally: SSIPA interview. Results were analysed using descriptive and multivariant analyses.ResultsMultivariant analysis has showed the highest difference between groups in a violent group comparing to a nonviolent one (P = 0.001) in a treatment length [OR = 0.950 (95%), CI 0.710 -970], compliance [OR = 0.810(95%), CI 0.780 - 1.050], severity of depression [OR = 0. 825 (95%), CI 0.650 -1.340] and motivation [OR = 0.750 (95%), CI = 0.835-1.150].ConclusionParasuicidals behaviour performance have not shown statistically significant difference. This study has shown the difference in the length of treatment (duration of disease), cooperation with therapeutic team, depression worsening regardless its origin and motivations for social adaptations and participation. Patients with more expressed mentioned predictors, were attempting suicide faster, regardless therapeutical treatment.

Published: July 2013

IntroductionFamilies of individuals with schizophrenia and autism experience similar stressors in their everyday life. Research shows that working with families of people with schizophrenia is effective in reducing family burden and distress levels, through structured psychoeducational interventions. These interventions are delivered in individual family or group family design. However, psychoeducational interventions have not been widely implemented in standard clinical practice, while there is limited research on the effectiveness of psychoeducation in parents of children with autism.ObjectivesPsychoeducational interventions are organized around two primary objectives:a)provision of information about the nature and treatment of the disorder andb)teaching family members problem-solving, communication skills and behavior management techniques.AimThe aim of this study was to compare and contrast the efficacy of group psychoeducational intervention in reducing family burden and in improving communication and problem solving skills, when applied to two groups of parents of individuals with schizophrenia and of children with autism.MethodsEight parents of individuals with schizophrenia and six parents of children with autism participated in two group psychoeducational programs. Twenty three group sessions were conducted for each group. Pre and post treatment measures included qualitative assessment of knowledge about the nature of the disorder of their offspring and social stigma, as well as psychometric measurement of family burden, family rituals, family communication and general family functioning.Results and conclusionsQuantitative and qualitative data on the effectiveness of each group psychoeducational intervention, as well comparative data between the two groups will be discussed.

Published: July 2013

IntroductionIn primary care, difficulty to distinguish somatic syndromes from depression with somatic symptoms is recognised. In somatoform disorders co-morbid depression and anxiety have an additive detrimental effect on level of functioning.AimTo investigate role of depressive symptoms in somatic presentations and elucidate its impact on level of functioning.MethodCohort is 106 consecutive patients referred to a specialist somatoform disorder clinic as part of a naturalistic follow- up study. Tools used included Hamilton rating scale for depression (HAMD), Patient Health Questioner (PHQ-15), Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF).Results26% of cohort had only depressive disorder (ICD-10 F32-34, 38), 44% had a somatic syndrome (F 44-45, 48), 10% with anxiety or psychotic disorders and 20% had no mental disorders. 34% of somatic syndrome had co-morbidities, mainly depressive disorder. No significant difference in HAMD, PHQ-15 and GAF, seen between diagnostic groups. In the somatic syndrome group, HAMD and PHQ-15 scores negatively correlated with GAF (functioning) (t = -4.5, df = 1, p = 0.0001 and t = -2.3, df = 1, p = 0.04). When HAMD along with PHQ-15, age, gender, co-morbidity and medication-use entered in a multiple regression model, HAMD score was the only significant parameter (F = 17, t-4.2, df = 1, p = 0.001).ConclusionsA considerable number of patients with severe somatic symptoms and functional impairment have depressive disorder. In patients with somatic syndrome, depressive symptoms (even sub-syndromal) appear to influence the level of functioning and mediate the effect of somatic symptoms on level of functioning. This finding may have implication in treatment and needs establishing.

IntroductionThe satisfaction with life scale (SWLS) is a brief five-item measure of global life satisfaction rated on a Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). It is noted as one of the most popular scales in the measurement of life satisfaction.ObjectivesTo test the psychometric properties of SWLS.AimsTo create a valid measurement, easy to use for primary care and during treatment assessment in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), emotional disorder (ED) and general population (GP).MethodsTranslation of SWLS was performed using the multiple forward and backward translation protocol. Life orientation test (GrLOT-R), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) and Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS), was also administered to check construct validity of SWLS.Results809 adults participated, 175 (21.6%) male, 634 (78.4%) female. The total scale of the SWLS had a coefficient alpha of .831. Item - total correlations where from .253-.783. Factor analysis has supported a unidimensional model with 1 factor explaining 68% of the total variance. Mean scores differed significantly between GP (M = 21 ± 6.3), DM (19.1 ± 6.2) and ED (M = 17.2 ± 6.9) (Mean differences = 1.847 and 3.723 p < .001 respectively). There was significant negative correlation with stress (r = -.297 p < .001), anxiety (-.297 p < .001) and depression (r = -.499 p < .001) and positive correlation with GrLOT-R (r = .499 p < .001).ConclusionsThe results of the current validation study suggest that the Greek translation of the SWLS is both reliable and valid, with good construct and discriminant validity and psychometric properties close to those reported in the international literature.

Published: July 2013

IntroductionIntersubjective experience and phenomena addressed in psychiatric diagnosis are not available to standard scientific research. Many authors focused on intersubjectivity and the analysis of their work helps informing and clarifying how to address these facts.ObjectivesThis presentation aims to review the works of A. Shultz, C. Jaspers, F. Buytendijk, M. Heidegger, M Scheler (and others) on intersubjectivity in a phenomenological standpoint.AimsApproaching intersubjectivity from a phenomenological standpoint and its relations with current problems of psychiatric diagnosis and research.MethodsSelective analysis of literature on phenomenological enquires of intersubjectivity in the field of Philosophy and PsychiatryResultsResearch in psychopathology and psychiatry must neither treat intersubjective data as residuum nor try and reify data that resists reductionism and mechanistic explanations. Intersubjectivity is inherent to the meaning of psychopathological understanding and phenomenaConclusionsThere is need for new methods of enquire for many data in psychiatry. Researchers and clinicians must find new ways to deal with psychiatric objects and with relational data.
