WELLCOME ADRESSDear Friends and Colleagues,It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 20th International Conference of theAssociation of Psychology and Psychiatry for Adults and Children (A.P.P.A.C.),held in Athens, on May 18 – 22, 2015.This year’s Conference 10th of a series on “Neuropsychiatric, Psychological and Social Up-dates and Challenges”.During the last years, the International Congresses of the A.P.P.A.C. became established annual meeting points, where participants have the opportunity to get in touch with the latest knowledge and exchange ideas with worldwide distinguished experts from different scientific areas, in a true multidisciplinary approach.The 20th International Conference, will try to work further towards this direction, bring-ing participants closer to the progress on scientific research concerning clinical psychia-try, psychopathology, psychology, new diagnostic and treatment methods, genetics, and neurosciences. In our Conference, we once more emphasise the human dimension, linking science with society. To this end, there are some sessions with the participation of social workers, nurses, social anthropologists, educators etc.The 20th Conference also serves the educational mission of the A.P.P.A.C.: it gives 24 CME credits by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACC-ME), to certify that the participants have taken part in accredited education activities.Attending this meeting in Athens, is also an opportunity to discover, or rediscover, a city of unique charm with a rich cultural and humanitarian tradition.Athens is ideally suited to provide an atmosphere of true international spirit as the city has learned to deal successfully with the diversities of systems and the coexistence of different cultures. Today, the Greek capital is a modern, lively, vibrant, fascinating and beautiful city, with historic, cultural, scientific and modern achievements, a city you will enjoy to visit.

Welcome to Athens!

Margo Whiteford Short Curriculum Vitae

Η «ΧΟΡΩΔΙΑ ΤΡΙΠΟΛΗΣ» ιδρύθηκε, ως Μικτό Τμήμα τον Μάρτη του 1985 από ομάδα Τριπολιτών Φίλων της Πολυφωνικής Μουσικής, με σκοπό την προαγωγή του χορωδιακού τραγουδιού αλλά και γενικότερα της πολιτιστικής και καλλιτεχνικής κίνησης της Τρίπολης και του ευρύτερου χώρου. Οπότε φέτος γιορτάζουμε τα 30 χρόνια από την ίδρυσή της.

Η ΧΟΡΩΔΙΑ ΤΡΙΠΟΛΗΣ έχει στο ενεργητικό της πάμπολλες εμφανίσεις, τόσο στην Ελλάδα όσο και στο εξωτερικό, με πιο σημαντικές της, μέχρι τώρα, πορείας της, η συνεργασία της με τον αξέχαστο συνθέτη Δ. Λάγιο σε μελοποιημένα ποιήματα του Τριπολίτη ποιητή Κ. Καρυωτάκη, η παρουσία της στο θέατρο Ηρώδου του Αττικού στα πλαίσια του Αρκαδικού Ιδεώδους, η απόδοση του Τροπαρίου της Κασσιανής, του Μίκη Θεοδωράκη, τη Μ. Τρίτη στον Ι.Ν. Αγίου Διονυσίου του Αρεοπαγίτη, Πολιούχου Αθηνών, η συμμετοχή της στη τελετή λήξης των Ολυμπιακών Αγώνων, καθώς και η συναυλία της στην Παναγία των Παρισίων. Επίσης

επισκέφθηκε την Ιταλία, Τσεχία, Αυστρία, και Ουγγαρία.Το 1991 εμπνεύστηκε και πραγματοποίησε με

επιτυχία στην Τρίπολη, το πρώτο Πανελλήνιο Συνέδριο Εκπροσώπων Χορωδιών(ΠΑ.ΣΥ.ΧΟ), μια ιδέα που καθιερώθηκε και έγινε πλέον θεσμός.

Το καλλιτεχνικό σωματείο διατηρεί τα παρακάτω τμήματα:1) Μικτή 45μελή χορωδία με Μαέστρο τον καθηγητή μουσικής Μιχάλη Γαργαλιώνη.2) Από το 2012 την 40μελή Νεανική χορωδία “LA VITA” με Μαέστρο την καθηγήτρια Πιάνου, Ελένη Αλεξοπούλου.3) Από το 2012 την 70μελή Παιδική χορωδία τα ‘Σπουργίτια’ με Μαέστρο τον καθηγητή Μουσικής, Διονύση Καραφωτιά.4) Από το 2014 την προ-παιδική χορωδία, ”Σκαθάρια”, με Μαέστρο την καθηγήτρια Πιάνου, Ελένη Αλεξοπούλου.

Tο Γυναικείο Νεανικό τμήμα της ΧΟΡΩΔΙΑΣ ΤΡΙΠΟΛΗΣ, “LA VITA”, έχει εμφανιστεί πολλές φορές στην Τρίπολη και

έχει λάβει μέρος σε διάφορα Φεστιβάλ στην Ελλάδα, με κορυφαία εμφάνιση τη συμμετοχή στο Διεθνές Φεστιβάλ Μιούζικαλ στη Θεσσαλονίκη, τον Απρίλιο του 2014. Ακόμη συμμετείχε στις Χριστουγεννιάτικες εκδηλώσεις του Δήμου Τρικκαίων, που πραγματοποιήθηκαν τον Δεκέμβρη του 2014, στο θεματικό πάρκο “Μύλος των Ξωτικών”, παρουσιάζοντας ένα εξαιρετικό πρόγραμμα.

Τον ίδιο μήνα, αποδεχόμενοι την τιμητική πρόσκληση της Περιφέρειας Πελοποννήσου, να συμμετέχει στο “Φεστιβάλ Πελοποννήσου”, απέδωσε έργα μεγάλων συνθετών, σε ειδική εκδήλωση μαζί με την Κρατική Ορχήστρα Αθηνών! Τον περασμένο Μάρτιο ερμήνευσε τραγούδια του Μάνου Χατζιδάκι, σε αφιέρωμα στον ίδιο, που οργάνωσε η ΧΟΡΩΔΙΑ ΤΡΙΠΟΛΗΣ.

Τη Χορωδία πλαισιώνουν εξαιρετικοί μουσικοί, ενώ τα καλλιτεχνικά της μέλη είναι μια ομάδα νέων κοριτσιών, που διακρίνονται για τη μουσική παιδεία, την αγάπη για το πολυφωνικό τραγούδι και την καλλιτεχνική ευαισθησία τους, γενικότερα.

L’entrée dans le xxIème siècle est marquée par un important développement des préconisations officielles de l’OMS et des Etats membres, en faveur de l’instauration de la « démocratie sanitaire » ainsi que par un fort mouvement de reconnaissance des droits et de l’autonomie, l’empowerment, des personnes souffrant de troubles psychiques comme de lutte contre leur stigmatisation. Seront examinées successivement les problématiques liées aux phénomènes de stigmatisation et d’empowerment et les contributions que peuvent apporter les sciences sociales pour l’amélioration du destin social du handicap mental.

La question de la stigmatisation des troubles psychiques et de ceux qui en souffrent n’est pas nouvelle, mais elle connaît un regain d’attention découlant d’une série de facteurs qui, d’ordre institutionnel, politique et éthique, induisent des transformations dans le traitement social du handicap mental. Ce traitement social met en regard et souvent en opposition les mesures de défense des droits des usagers du système de santé mentale et les positions que la société civile adopte à leur égard. Il en résulte des obstacles qui rendent urgente la lutte contre les différentes formes de stigmatisation et de discrimination entravant leur empowerment.

Après un rappel des origines communautaires de la notion d’empowerment seront examinés ses indicateurs et facteurs de succès, les « bonnes pratiques » lui correspondant et les conditions environnementales permettant de le réaliser. A un moment où la notion de « recovery » ouvre la voie à des formes nouvelles de vie pour les personnes souffrant de troubles psychiques, et où l’empowerment pose leurs droits et leur capacité d’exercer un pouvoir d’autodétermination, il devient essentiel de surmonter les obstacles que rencontre leur intégration sociale.

Peuvent y aider les récents progrès enregistrés dans les sciences sociales qui abordent, depuis le début des années 2000, les phénomènes de stigmatisation et de discrimination avec un nouveau regard. Elles articulent plusieurs dimensions (symboliques, pratiques, contextuelles et identitaires) pour examiner, à travers les représentations des troubles psychiques, la construction et la justification du stigma. De plus, elles se centrent les effets psychologiques qu’il a sur ses victimes, et envisagent les possibilités de leur redonner voix.

Introduction: Beliefs about drinking alcohol profoundly influence drinking behaviour. For example, the expected positive outcomes after drinking, known as positive expectancies, have long been known to be potent predictors of subsequent patterns of alcohol consumption. In addition, my previous studies have revealed that positive outcome expectancies accounted for significant amounts of variance in alcohol related consequences independent of alcohol consumed.

Aims/methods: Quasi-experimental design of 113 heavy drinking adults was used to examine whether specific categories of positive alcohol expectancies would be significantly associated with specific categories of consequences (physical, intrapersonal, interpersonal, and social obligations), after controlling for consumption and gender.

Results: All regression models examining positive expectancies with consequences were statistically significant at the p<.01 level. One category of positive expectancies (arousal/ power) was significantly associated with each category of consequences among young adult drinkers independent of alcohol consumption. Interestingly, a different profile emerged for drinkers over 30 years of age.

Discussion: Study results support the importance of addressing positive expectancies in treatment and psychotherapy, and the pattern of results suggest new and potentially important age related differences. The presentation will conclude with discussion of clinical implications, including suggestions for strategies to improve outcomes for behavioural interventions.

They are the foundation for a sense of continuity of personal identity over time. Adults are recognized as appreciating the meaning and significance of their autobiographical memories, and as having constructed a coherent life narrative around them. In development, these qualities are noted as absent as late as adolescence.methods: We conducted a direct comparison of autobiographical memories of adults and adolescents from each of several time periods, using measures of narrative quality and participants’ own subjective ratings of their memories.Results: Relative to adolescents’, adults’ narratives of events from the previous year and for the “most significant” event of their lives were rated as more narratively coherent; the coherence of narratives of early-life events (ages 1-5 and 6-10 years) did not differ between groups. Adults’ and adolescents’ ratings of their autobiographical memories were similar overall; differences that emerged indicated stronger memory experiences among adolescents.Discussion: Overall, findings suggests that whereas adults have more sophisticated narrative tools for describing the significance of events and their relation to other autobiographical memories, adolescents as well as adults have personal and subjective perspective on the events of their lives and their memories thereof.

oBJECTiVEs: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous disorder with a high burden of suffering and economic cost to society. We describe here a systematic attempt to investigate ASD heterogeneity, as it relates to the measurement and classification of the clinical phenotype.

mEThoDs: Two interrelated empirical studies using data from the Canadian Pathways in

ASD study are presented (N=390 children with ASD, ages 2 to 6 years). REsulTs: 1) Along the heterogeneous autism spectrum there appear to be distinct, relatively

homogeneous subgroups of children; on average, children across these subgroups differ in their levels of symptom severity, adaptive skills, and emotional/behavioural problems; 2) The underlying structure of the ASD symptom phenotype changes as children grow and develop.

DisCussion: These findings lend support to a much-needed shift in our conceptual and methodological approach to the study of measurement and classification of autism pathology: that is, instead of a set of categorical symptoms that present early in childhood and remain static over the life span, ASD might be better understood as a complex and dynamic disorder, structured on both categorical and dimensional constructs that vary not only across individuals at any given point, but also within individuals across time.

Worry is a verbal-linguistic process involving repetitive, negative thoughts about the future. Excessive worry is the primary feature of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)(1) .Worry is common in other anxiety and affective disorders (2) Intolerance of uncertainty has been consistently and robustly associated with worry and insecure attachment style has been implicated in the etiology and maintenance of worry. This paper will present the results and clinical implications of research conducted with a sample of 393 tertiary education students. The study aimed to investigate the relationships between depression, attachment style, intolerance of uncertainty and worry, using an online survey. Participants included 302 females and 91 males, aged between 18 and 58 years. The sample was divided into HW (high worry; 86) and LW (low worry; 307)(3) . Results of regression analyses indicated that for both subgroups, depressive symptoms, which were mediated by intolerance of uncertainty significantly contributed to the variation of worry. For the HW group (suggestive of a diagnosis of GAD), the study results affirm the importance of psychological treatments targeting intolerance of uncertainty as well as reducing depressive symptoms. Limitations and contribution of the current study will be presented.

Most psychiatric and neurological disorders are caused by molecular alterations in multiple genes,and downstream signaling pathways that regulate their expression including epigenetic modifications which are heritable changes in gene activity and expression without altering the DNA code or sequence.These non-genetic alterations which act as modifiers of chromatin structure include DNA methylation taking place on specific cytosine guanine dinucleotide domains (termed as CpG islands) in gene promoters leading to repression of transcription factors blocking transcription by chromatin condensation,and covalent histone modifications including histone deacetylation with HDACs which cause reversible transcriptional inactivation influencing environmental information such as signal transduction,and cell processes such as cell growth or apoptosis in various diseases including mental ones.Non covalent epigenomic modifications include nucleosome positioning or remodeling, incorporation of histone variants and non-coding RNA such as microRNAs.All these epigenomic mechanisms which are associated with DNA may cause long lasting effects in the gene regulation and expression of mature nerve cells which are associated with many complex neurological and psychiatric disorders including post traumatic stress disorder (PTS D),schizophrenia,depression,bipolar disorder , autism,drug addiction and even suicides,where a one size fits all therapeutic approach is not applicable.This is where a personalized approach with evidence based psychiatry and neurology based on pharmacoepigenomics may be applied.A very important issue is that the epigenomic alterations can be passed from the one generation to the next,and that the non-coding genes may be activated or inactivated from environmental inputs.For this reason behavioral epigenomics examine of how the expression of non-coding genes is affected by environmental influences and personal life experiences leading to individual differences in mental health,cognition,personality and finally behavior.Fortunately,we can reverse the effects of epigenomic alterations by agents that inhibit DNA methyltransferases such as deoxyazacytidine and 5-azacytidine which incorporate into the DNA blocking all its methylases that repress transcription. More effective epigenomic therapies can be performed by targeting histone modifications such as deacetylation which is involved in environmental information that affects signal transduction and cellular processes of neurons linked to transcriptional deactivation which occurs in the post-translation stage,and it may be reversible with the administration of nonselective histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACs) such as valproic acid which inhibits all of the histone deacetylation acting as a mood stabilizer while it enhances the effectiveness of antipsychotic drugs which are administered for the treatment of bipolar disorders, schizophrenia,epilepsy and other disorders in psychiatry and neurology.

Depression is both an urgent and complex occupational health issue. Many individuals are employed at the same time as they are experiencing a major depressive episode. A large proportion of workers who experience a depression-related absence from work are women. However, little is known about the experiences of returning to work for women with depression. The goal of this study is to identify women’s experiences of returning to work after a lapse due to a depression. Grounded Theory is the method being used. At this time

31 women of the projected 40 have participated in in-depth interviews. Analysis is currently being conducted and reoccurring themes are emerging. In this presentation the focus will be on two themes. The first theme is ``Battling Adversity`` which includes battling depression, battling the workplace and battling the institution, all of which describe the struggle many women have experienced in returning to work. The second theme “Upholding Silence” includes concealing their depression and selective disclosure. Women speak about wearing a mask when they are in the workplace in order to conceal their depression. Many women mention triggers and use particular language while explaining their absence from work, such as burnout, stress, and fatigue. These words are thought to be helpful in concealing the depression. Women described their journey back to work and back to wellness.

According to recent research, the pathological form of narcissism has often been associated with the presence of emotional problems and difficulties in self-regulation of emotions. The aim of the current study was to examine in which way the characteristics of narcissistic personality affect the management of stress, anger and melancholia as well as the mediating role of emotion regulation capacity. It was hypothesized that individuals with high scores in the Greek version of Narcissistic Personality Inventory would struggle managing their stress, anger and melancholia. In addition it was expected that those with the lower scores would not face as many difficulties in emotion self-regulation as narcissists would. To clarify the above questions it was necessary to divide the individuals into two groups, those of narcissists and non-narcissists. Then they were provided with a number of research tools so we could score their ability of emotion regulation and of appeasement of stress, anger and melancholia. After the process was finished, a negative stimulus was provided in order to provoke negative feelings and examine again the above variables. The results confirmed the above hypotheses indicating a statistically significant correlation between characteristics of narcissistic personality and difficulties in management and regulation of emotions.

introduction. Many asylum seekers suffer from post-traumatic stress, but culturally sensitive psychotherapy can hardly be granted.

Aims: Therefore, (1) guided self-help groups (SHG) and (2) sponsorships by Austrian citizens were examined as alternatives, aiming at reducing symptoms of stress and facilitating acculturation.

methods: In Study 1, N = 93 Chechnyan asylum seekers and refugees were randomized (a) to SHG guided by a compatriot in their mother tongue, which met 15 times, (b) to Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and (c) to a Wait List (WL) control group. In Study 2, N = 63 Chechnyan and Afghan refugees were randomized (a) to sponsorships by Austrians over 6 months and (b) a WL control group. Post-traumatic stress, general psychopathology, and acculturation were measured by psychometric questionnaires.

Results: Both, SHG and sponsorships were significantly superior to WL in reducing symptomatology in traumatized participants with effect sizes close to 1.00. In study 1, SHG were equally effective as interpreter assisted CBT. In Study 2, though being equally effective on the symptom level, sponsorships had no effect on acculturation.

Discussion: Lay interventions pose a promising alternative to conventional psychotherapyin asylum seekers and refugees and should be followed up further on a broader scale.

ADDiCTionby Edwin K. Yager, Ph.D.

People speak of being addicted to street drugs and cigarettes, and express concern about becoming addicted to medications. People also speak of being addicted to a behavior such as gambling, and of being addicted to another person. These all accurately exemplify “addiction” in that they refer to compulsions over which there is little or no conscious control. A theory of addiction evolved during the past 35 years of my private practice as a psychotherapist. In the course of applying Subliminal Therapy in many cases of addiction, it became apparent to me that the primary force that drives addictive behavior, whether to a chemical substance or to something else, is a psychological force—not physical. I concluded that: All addictions are essentially mental disorders; therefore, elimination of the addiction will require psychological intervention, not just medical management of symptoms.

Psychological compulsion is the primary force that propels addiction, even to the extent of threatening life. Compulsions are subconsciously rooted, whether based in seeking pleasure, avoidance of pain or, in the case of drug addiction, supported by an additional fear of the consequence of not using the drug. In all events, compulsions are “learned;” they are the consequence of conditioning from life experiences. That being true, re-conditioning offers cure for addiction. Since re-conditioning is the essential feature of Subliminal Therapy, this method is outstandingly effective in the treatment of addiction. A frequent hallmark of addiction is denial of the addiction itself.Suchdenial precludes resolution of its psychological cause by preventing its identification, and until the cause has been defined, resolution of the addiction is not possible. Techniques of free association, hypnotic techniques including ageregression and ideo-motor response, EMDR, Parts Therapy, Ego-State Therapy and others can be effective inidentifying cause if knowingly applied; however, Subliminal Therapy has been in a class by itself in terms of its degree of effectiveness in my private practice. As shown in the following table, it has been equally and extraordinarily effective in identifying cause and treating both chemical and non-chemical addictions.

While medical or other intervention may be required to cope with physical withdrawal, elimination of the overriding psychological component of the addiction can only be accomplished by psychodynamic treatment; the underlying cause must be identified and then resolved. Treating the symptoms of addiction will not eliminate the symptoms, even though they may be masked or eased. On the other hand, when the cause of the symptom has been identified and resolved, the symptoms cease to exist.

introduction: Vulnerable children are defined as young populations with multiple needs, mobility, and experience of acute and chronic traumas and life adversities. They include children in public care, homeless, asylum-seeking, adopted, and offenders. Such vulnerable groups have become a priority across the world for health, educational and social care policies in recent years.

Aims: To present advances in the treatment and service provision for this vulnerable population.

methods: Epidemiological findings will demonstrate the high prevalence of child mental health problems, related needs, risk factors, and limited access to services. Underpinning mechanisms in not accessing and engaging with generic services will be explored. Evidence will be presented on the effectiveness of interventions and service models. The emerging evidence and characteristics of vulnerable children will be discussed in the context of policy and child mental health services, across health and welfare systems and societies. A service model will be presented in relation to its different components, rationale and arising challenges.

It will be argued that, even with limited resources, it is possible to develop designated service provision. Opportunities for international collaboration on policy, research and training will be promoted.

introduction and Aims: This research builds on previous work examining the link between detachment-oriented coping strategies and job performance, workplace stress and leader member exchange (LMx). Drawing from personal resource theories, it is predicted that employees who cope via avoidance-focused coping (cognitive distortion) will experience lower job performance, LMx quality, and higher stress. In contrast, employees who cope via psychological detachment (cognitive disengagement) will experience the opposite outcomes.

methods: Predictions were tested with a multi-wave field study of police officers (N=267). Participants completed measures assessing coping styles at Time 1, and levels of stress at Time 2. Supervisors and peers completed measures of job performance and leader-member exchange at Time 3.

Results: Findings generally supported of predictions. Avoidance coping was negatively related to job performance and LMx, and positively related to stress. In contrast, psychological detachment strategies proved to be have a beneficial effect on work stress.

Discussion: The findings indicate that employees who utilize to avoidance coping as a mechanism for coping with workplace stress are doing themselves more harm than good. Employees should seek to employ more constructive coping strategies such as psychological detachment as a means to cope with the challenges of the workplace. This research extends theory by integrating the work recovery and coping literatures.

introduction and Aims: The social history of a second generation Greek Australian schizophrenic man in his late 40s is reviewed to understand his progression of schizophrenia from early childhood to middle adulthood. Another focus of this participant observation case study is to observe the natural interactions between the schizophrenic man and his brother who was his primary caretaker in order to promote better communication.

methods: To collect data both the schizophrenic man and his brother were extensively interviewed for a period of 4 weeks. The researcher also trained the brother in creating a structured environment that buttressed effective communication and control of negative emotional reactions. Results: The data suggest that schizophrenia in this particular case may have been the result of severe child physical abuse combined with prescription drug abuse and selfmedication practices. It also shows that communication with family members can improve when a highly structured environment with rewards and consequences is applied.

Discussion: The responsibility of society, the medical profession, the education system, the judicial system, and the family system in recognizing risk factors and preventing schizophrenia and child abuse is also discussed as well as strategies to train families in positive communication techniques with schizophrenics.

Epidemiological studies consistently reveal that women are diagnosed with depression twice as often as men. This discrepancy may be explained by our diagnostic tools (i.e., DSM ), which may not be sensitive to detecting depression among men because it ignores signs and symptoms such as irritability and emotional numbness that have been conceptualized as representing «male» depression. Authors have discussed the impact of masculine gender rolesocialization on the development of male depression. As a result of childhood socialization experiences, boys are discouraged from expressing and talking about vulnerable emotions, and hence do not develop a vocabulary for, or awareness of, many of their emotions. As men, they often have great difficulty finding words to describe their emotions, even when they are in obvious distress. Men may come to fear tender or vulnerable emotional states, in part because of masculine gender norms that prohibit this aspect of emotionality. These men tend to transform their vulnerable emotions into aggression, irritability, and hostility, and to respond with aggression and isolation when hurt. Our study examined the association between men’s conformity to masculine norms and depression. Quantitative and qualitative findings from the study, and their implications for future practice and research, will be discussed.

introduction & Aims: To examine the association between men’s conformity to masculine norms and depression through a cross-sectional analysis of subjects attending a University family practice clinic in Vancouver, BC.

methods: We surveyed male patients, 19 years of age and older (N=97).and examined these main outcome measures: The relationships among patients’ scores on the Brief Symptom Inventory–18 depression subscale, Gotland Male Depression Scale, and Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory, and whether or not patients were prompted to discuss emotional concerns with their physicians after completing these screening tests.

Results: Conformity to masculine norms was significantly associated with depression as assessed by the male depression screen (P=.039), but not with the screen that assessed typical depressive symptoms (P=.068). Men, regardless of their degree of masculinity or distress, overwhelmingly did not disclose emotional concerns to their physicians, even if the content of their distress involved suicidal thoughts.

Conclusion: Male depression screens might capture aspects of depression associated with masculine gender socialization that are not captured by typical measures of depression. Given the tendency of men to not disclose emotional distress to their family physicians, potentially high-risk cases could be missed without direct inquiry by clinicians.

maintaining a happy family: two healthy individuals that are enthusiastic about each other and eager to cultivate their relationship between them. A positive couple relationship includes good communication skills, expression of emotions and sexual attachment.

2)Family/nest values: The values of the family nest that are taught by parents to the children grow the self-esteem and drives to self-autonomous children in adulthood. The values include self-respect, sincerity, self-worth and good relationships with others. The child needs to learn how to co-operate with others and how to form meaningful social relationships.

3)The enjoyable working environment: The enjoyable working environment for the couple and the sense of productivity instead of just employment helps parents to feel happy and this transfers good vibes and a sense of security to the children. Each parent finds his/her personal brand that makes him/her unique at working environment.

Aims: Mental health systems are transforming to deliver recovery-oriented care, yet no therapeutic intervention model exists. Clinical practice requires such a model. Literature exists about recovery as an organizing principle, yet only a handful address clinical considerations beyond person-centered planning. Even fewer describe treatment with individuals who have complex psychiatric conditions. Our objective was to develop therapeutic interventions for person-centered care in our state hospital, and the result was a treatment prototype which may be a promising practice approach.

methods: We used person-centered principles in our treatment planning and crafted creative interventions to progress the treatment of chronically and severely mentally ill individuals. What we noticed was that change was born out of the dynamic, reciprocal engagement between clinician and individual.

Results: Psychoanalytic concepts leant themselves to our ultimate goal in personcentered care, that of psychiatric empowerment, self-agency, and self-determination, which supported the individual in transcending their symptoms and building a meaningful life.

Discussion: Others in similar settings and across disciplines may find this work useful, and it may help the process of systems transformation and improve recovery-oriented care.

Keywords: Recovery, Person-Centered Care, State Psychiatric Hospital, Deinstitutionalization, Inpatient, Disabilities.

This thesis is an investigation, collection and study of files with articles referring to preschool and primary school age. It is aimed to investigate whether today’s press is aware of issues regarding children between 0 and 6 years old compared to the past, which is the topic of this thesis. By studying the above topic various conclusions are made, the most important of which is that the press nowadays continues to raise awareness and inform people on temporal, but also immediate interest matters regarding young children.

All children should have the right to be members of nurturing families and environments in which their personal, social and emotional needs are being met. During the last decades, it has been stressed out the importance of the father’s role in young children’s healthy development. Nowadays fathers are more involved in the upbringing of their children and provide positive impact on children’s wellbeing. Fathers’ status, education, profession, as well as relationship to their children’s mother seem to play a determinant role in the quality of their relationship and involvement with their children. The present study explores the views, ideas, behaviours and attitudes of Greek fathers on their role in children’s development. A sample of 100 fathers of young children aged 2-8 years old was examined by means of a questionnaire. The outcomes of the study confirm that today’s fathers are more involved in their children’s upbringing and influence their development. At the same time, it is evident from the answers of our sample that fathers believe their role in children’s development is more indirect in relation to the one of the mother.

Σήμερα στα αστικά κέντρα όπου ζει και ο μεγαλύτερο μέρος του πληθυσμού της χώρας μας, οι ελεύθεροι χώροι παιχνιδιού είναι εξαιρετικά περιορισμένοι, αρκετές φορές δείχνουν να μην επαρκούν για τις ανάγκες των μικρών πολιτών, ενώ η οικονομική κρίση σε ορισμένους χώρους έχει αφήσει το στίγμα της, μέσα από μια εικόνα εγκατάλειψης που αρκετές φορές πιθανόν να εγκυμονεί κινδύνους για τη σωματική ακεραιότητα των παιδιών. Παράλληλα στο χώρο της εκπαίδευσης παρόλο που σε θεωρητικό επίπεδο προβάλλει ως ιδιαίτερα σημαντική η οργάνωση του χώρου και ειδικά των υπαίθριων παιγνιοτόπων, η πραγματικότητα δείχνει πως η άσκηση, η κίνηση και η ενεργοποίηση σε υπαίθριους χώρους αποτελούν υποδεέστερο χώρο και χρόνο της εκπαιδευτικής διαδικασίας.

Σκοπός της εργασίας μας ήταν, η διερεύνηση των εμπειριών και των απόψεων των μελλοντι-κών παιδαγωγών σχετικά με τους χώρους υπαίθριου παιχνιδιού. Το δείγμα της έρευνας αποτέ-λεσαν φοιτήτριες του Τμήματος Προσχολικής Αγωγής ΤΕΙ Αθήνας που φοιτούν στο Δ΄ εξάμηνο σπουδών και παρακολουθούν το θεωρητικό μέρος του μαθήματος «Αγωγή Μικρού Παιδιού ΙΙ», οι οποίες κλήθηκαν να απαντήσουν σε ερωτηματολόγιο που κατασκευάστηκε για τις ανάγκες της συγκεκριμένης έρευνας.

Από την έρευνα διαπιστώνουμε ότι οι φοιτήτριες του Δ΄ εξαμήνου είναι ευαισθητοποιημένες (μέσα από θεωρητικά και εργαστηριακά μαθήματα που διδάσκονται στο Τμήμα), σχετικά με τη συμβολή του δομικού χώρου στην ανάπτυξη του μικρού παιδιού. Ορμώμενες από τη δική τους παιδική ηλικία: εστιάζουν σε εμπειρίες παιχνιδιού σε χώρους (σχολικές αυλές, αλάνες, πάρκα κλπ.), σε βιώματα (θετικά και αρνητικά). Στη συνέχεια με την τους ιδιότητά τους ως μελλοντι-

κοί παιδαγωγοί προσχολικής ηλικίας, σημειώνουν την αξία των υπαίθριων χώρων παιχνιδιού στην ψυχοκινητική, κοινωνική, νοητική ανάπτυξη του μικρού παιδιού. Τέλος αξιολογώντας τους υπαίθριους χώρους που λειτουργούν σήμερα, σημειώνουν ότι επικρατεί ένα καθεστώς εγκατά- λειψης. Που μάλλον είναι απόρροια της οικονομικής δυσπραγίας της χώρας μας, χρήζει όμως προβληματισμού αλλά και ενεργοποίησης τόσο από τους γονείς όσο και από τους παιδαγωγούς.

Preschool professionals’ knowledge, skills, attitudes and working conditions are essential elements of quality in Early Childhood Education and Care institutions.

Professional development has a huge impact on the quality of professionals and children’s outcomes. Developing common education and training programmes in an ECEC context helps to create a shared agenda and understanding of quality. Good working conditions benefit pedagogues and contribute to their retention. Policy measures affect the structural quality of ECEC provision including arrangements on the size of a group; children to adult ratios; working hours, etc.

Based on the assumptions that, the quality of ECEC depends on well-educated, experienced and competent workforce, and that, improving quality depends on improving both the education and working conditions of workforce, this presentation examines the workforce quality level in Greece. More specifically, it analyzes, a) The Initial education and continuous professional development of preschool professionals, b) Data on working conditions, and c) Current challenges and possible current policy responses in the field.

Summarizing it points out that the challenges facing the ECEC system in Greece include the on-going austerity measures, the appointment of teachers and pedagogues on shortterm contracts and the limited accessibility to ECEC.

This announcement investigates computer literacy in preschool and early primary school kids. The focus is drawn in examining particular computer software that has to do with design (CAD, Computer Aided Design) that enables children, using “simpler” skills than handwriting, to express themselves and create. Following a demonstration of particular computer platforms designed for preschool and first primary school kids, we examine the produced material, the way kids interact with computers and how this could determine the way they use computers in the future. This procedure includes the teachers who enable and encourage kids to create objects that otherwise would not be possible. These new technological environments for education can enhance student understanding and even create new ways of understanding that are waiting to be discovered.

Education reflects the characteristics of each society and era. Today, it is characterized by speed and rapid pace constantly accelerating. The result thereby, is a vicious circle. On the one hand, the school is subordinated to this obsession of the speed obsessed and submit students and educators to specific rates. On the other hand, the family presses and it is -at the same time- under pressure to speed up educational procedures. It is clear that, in these circumstances, a harmonious relationship with reading cannot be developed. The obsession, however, with the speed was not always dominant. So, it seems that it is a critical moment to open the debate on reading. To return to practices that allow children discover the enjoyment of reading. The research deals with possible applications of the movement of ‘slow reading’ and the concept of «creative reading» in Greece.

In recent years, the emotional literacy of preschool children has played an important role in the field of education and in particular, in the first stages where the person builds the foundation for emotional development or emotional intelligence quotient (EI). One of the most effective tools for the development of emotional literacy is empathy. Preschools that regularly use empathy development programs have witnessed encouraging results in terms of improved social relations of children, positive self-image, self-concept and a much more positive attitude about school. In this paper, develop activities that help children to cultivate empathy whilst helping them to understand their feelings and consequences in every aspect of their lives.

The cooperative learning (Baudrit, 2006) motivates children and educators to change their way of thinking, their mindset even their attitudes. The purpose of this research is a detour through cooperative learning method and a relation between social and language development is initially sketched out, bring into focus how preschool teacher could use cooperative learning method as an alternative practice in everyday activities.

Specifically,by using an action-research (Elliot, 1999) , we found out that preschool children are able to cooperate in small groups in order to achieve a common goal. Finally, the implementation of cooperative learning enhances the oral development of 3-4 years old.

This proposition refers to an educational project in preschools, which will respect and promote children’s modern rights such as the participation right, free expression right and auto-organization right.

Nowadays is generally accepted that the main purpose of preschool education must focus on the organization of preschool conditions which will support children in integrating smoothly into the society, in order to make them adequate to participate daily in social proceedings and thus be emancipated. This indicates that pedagogical and learning conditions should allow participation and auto organized action in the maximum degree possible.

The «Open Classes» system, which is proposed, is based on the theory that the child’s education is driven by the child itself. The study is based on the broadening function of «Open Classes»to younger children. The results of the action research have shown that younger children in preschools can function in the same degree and eventually they benefit a lot from their participation in this procedure.

Η σαφώς μεγάλη συχνότητα εμφάνισης των συναισθηματικών διαταραχών στις μέρες μας αποτελεί μια πραγματικότητα που προβληματίζει την ψυχιατρική κοινότητα. Παρά το γεγονός ότι έχει υπάρξει σημαντική πρόοδος σε θεωρητικό επίπεδο, υπάρχει μεγάλη απόσταση που πρέπει να διανυθεί προτού μπορέσουμε να ισχυριστούμε ότι γίνεται έγκαιρη διάγνωση και επιτυχημένη αντιμετώπιση αυτών των διαταραχών. Στη στρογγυλή αυτή τράπεζα θα εστιάσουμε στις διαφο- ρές ανάμεσα στη δυσθυμία και την κατάθλιψη και θα υπογραμμίσουμε το πώς αυτές μπορεί να συνυπάρξουν, θα εξετάσουμε τα όρια ανάμεσα στο πένθος και την κατάθλιψη και θα δούμε πώς μπορεί πρακτικά να μειωθεί ο κίνδυνος εκδήλωσης αυτοκτονικών πράξεων από τον ασθενή, που πάσχει από κατάθλιψη. Η ψυχαναλυτική προσέγγιση της αυτοκτονικότητας, με κυρίαρχο στοιχείο την επικράτηση των επιθετικών καταστρεπτικών ενορμήσεων απέναντι στο ένστικτο της επιβίω- σης, θα αποτελέσει το έναυσμα για μια ολιστική προσέγγιση του φαινομένου.

Η αρμονική σχέση μεταξύ θεραπευτή και θεραπευόμενου αποτελεί προϋπόθεση για την αντι- μετώπιση των πάσης φύσεως ψυχιατρικών διαταραχών. Η θεραπευτική συμμαχία λειτουργεί ως οδηγός για την επίτευξη αυτού του σκοπού. Σε καμία περίπτωση, όμως, αυτό δεν πρέπει να σημαίνει κατάργηση των ορίων και κατάλυση του ρόλου του καθενός, με το θεραπευτή να έχει το καθήκον της εξασφάλισης της οριοθέτησης. Αυτή αποτελεί ουσιαστικά ανάγκη του ίδιου του – κατακερματισμένου – ψυχωτικού ασθενούς. Αν επιτραπεί στον ασθενή να καταργήσει τα όρια, αυτό θα σημάνει ακύρωση του θεραπευτή και θα οδηγήσει σε αποτυχία τη θεραπευτική διαδικασία. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι όχι μόνο ο ψυχίατρος, αλλά και όλοι οι εμπλεκόμενοι θεραπευτές (και των λοιπών ειδικοτήτων) θα πρέπει να τηρήσουν μία κοινή στάση προς την κατεύθυνση αυτή. Σε πρακτικό επίπεδο, οι όποιοι περιορισμοί θα πρέπει να εξασφαλίζουν το σεβασμό στην προσωπικότητα και τα δικαιώματα των ψυχικά πασχόντων. Βέβαια, κάποιες φορές, η νομοθεσία, ίσως, να εμποδίζει τη θεραπευτική διαδικασία, χωρίς να είναι σαφές αν η υπερβολή αφορά περισσότερο στις νομικές ή τις ψυχιατρικές θεωρήσεις.

Η συμμόρφωση ή - στην καλύτερη εκδοχή – η προσκόλληση στη φαρμακευτική αγωγή απο- τελεί ένα κορυφαίας σημασίας προγνωστικό παράγοντα, που συνδέεται με την πιθανότητα εμ- φάνισης υποτροπής σε ασθενείς, που πάσχουν από ψύχωση. Δεν υπάρχει καμία αμφιβολία για τον εξαιρετικά σημαντικό ρόλο που παίζει η λήψη της φαρμακευτικής αγωγής προς αυτή την κατεύθυνση. Οι παράμετροι που συνδέονται με τη μη συμμόρφωση στη φαρμακευτική αγωγή (σχετιζόμενοι με τον ίδιο τον ασθενή, τη νόσο, τη θεραπεία, την κοινωνία, την οικονομία, αλλά και το σύστημα υγείας) αναλύονται διεξοδικά. Ιδιαίτερη έμφαση δίνεται στον αρνητικό ρόλο των ανεπιθύμητων ενεργειών των αντιψυχωτικών σκευασμάτων, αλλά και στη θετική επίδραση της θεραπευτικής συμμαχίας προς την κατεύθυνση της θεραπευτικής συμμόρφωσης. Η διεξοδι- κή προσέγγιση αυτών των παραγόντων δε μπορεί παρά να αποτελεί αναπόσπαστο κομάτι της καθημερινής ψυχιατρικής κλινικής πραγματικότητας στο πλαίσιο μιας ουσιαστικής και επιτυχούς θεραπευτικής παρέμβασης.

Η αρχική χαρτογράφηση των ψυχιατρικών νόσων βρήκε την «οριακή διαταραχή προσωπικό- τητας» στο μεταίχμιο μεταξύ νεύρωσης και ψύχωσης. Σήμερα η «ταυτότητα» μιας διαταραχής ανθρώπων χωρίς ταυτότητα έχει αλλάξει. Η συννοσηρότητα, οι τραυματικές εμπειρίες της παιδι- κής ηλικίας, η σοβαρή δυσλειτουργία στο οικογενειακό περιβάλλον, η ταύτιση με τα πρότυπα και άλλοι παράγοντες συνδέονται με την εκδήλωση της διαταραχής, την οποία οφείλει ο ψυχίατρος να είναι σε θέση να αναγνωρίσει και να διαφοροδιαγνώσει. Η θεραπεία της οριακής διαταραχής προσωπικότητας αποτελεί πρόκληση για το θεραπευτή, αλλά και μια διαδικασία που απαιτεί εξαιρετικά λεπτούς χειρισμούς. Κάτι τέτοιο γίνεται ακόμη πιο πολύπλοκο από τη στιγμή που συ- νυπάρχει και χρήση τοξικών ουσιών. Σε αυτή τη Στρογγυλή Τράπεζα θα γίνει εκτενής αναφορά στις ανωτέρω παραμέτρους και στον τρόπο με τον οποίο αυτές συνδέονται μεταξύ τους.

Η αποτελεσματικότητα του θεραπευτικού έργου στο πλαίσιο της λειτουργίας μιας ψυχια- τρι-κής κλινικής δε συνδέεται αποκλειστικά και μόνο με την ψυχιατρική επιστημονική γνώση. Ο τρόπος διοίκησης και λειτουργίας μιας κλινικής καθορίζει σε μεγάλο βαθμό την ποιότητα του πα-ρεχόμενου έργου. Το εργασιακό περιβάλλον, ο καθορισμός και η τήρηση κανόνων, η ισορροπία στις σχέσεις των μελών της ίδιας επαγγελματικής ομάδας(π.χ. ιατροί), αλλά και μεταξύ μελών διαφορετικών ομάδων (π.χ. μεταξύ ιατρών και νοσηλευτών), η αποφυγή της επαγγελματικής εξουθένωσης, η ύπαρξη κινήτρων και πλήθος άλλων παραμέτρων επηρεάζουν αποφασιστικά την ποιότητα των παρεχόμενων υπηρεσιών και όχι μόνο. Η εκπαίδευση των ειδικευόμενων Ψυ- χιατρικής λαμβάνει χώρα σε συνθήκες καθημερινής ψυχιατρικής πραγματικότητας, που ενίοτε ευοδώνουν και άλλοτε εμποδίζουν την ουσιαστική επιστημονική ανέλιξη. Το επίπεδο των ψυχι- ατρικών - νοσηλευτικών υπηρεσιών σχετίζεται άμεσα με το οργανωτικό και διοικητικό πλέγμα του κάθε χώρου στον οποίο αυτές οι υπηρεσίες παρέχονται. Η ορθολογιστική προσέγγιση των ανωτέρω σε συνδυασμό με την τήρηση των κανόνων δεοντολογίας στην άσκηση της Ψυχιατρι- κής θέτουν τις βάσεις που θα επιτρέψουν στον επιστήμονα – επαγγελματία ψυχικής υγείας να αξιοποιήσει στο μέγιστο τις επιστημονικές του γνώσεις και δυνατότητες, με ωφελημένο πάνω απ’ όλους τον ίδιο τον ασθενή.

κοινωνική και κατ’επέκταση στη συναισθηματική νόηση. Μια πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα και σύγχρονη προσέγγιση για τη διδασκαλία κοινωνικών συμπεριφορών και των συναισθημάτων στα άτομα με ΔΑΦ (και όχι μόνο) αποτελούν οι Κοινωνικές Ιστορίες (Social Stories) που εισήγαγε η Carol Gray το 1994. Σύμφωνα με την ίδια «Μια Κοινωνική Ιστορία είναι μια σύντομη ιστορία που έχει μια συγκεκριμένη μορφή και στοχεύει να περιγράψει με αντικειμενικό τρόπο μια κοινωνική κατάσταση, ένα άτομο, μια ικανότητα, ένα συναίσθημα, ένα γεγονός ή μια έννοια» (Carol Gray, 1998).

ΣΚΟΠΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΕΡΕΥΝΗΤΙΚΑ ΕΡΩΤΗΜΑΤΑ: Σκοπός του εργαστηρίου είναι: α) εξηγηθούν επιστημονικά οι δυσκολίες συναισθηματικής αποτύπωσης των παιδιών με ΔΑΦ, β) να αναλυθεί πώς μπορεί μια Κοινωνική Ιστορία να βελτιώσει τη συναισθηματική αποτύπωση και γ) να διατυ- πωθούν τα κριτήρια συγγραφής μια Κοινωνικής Ιστορίας.

ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ: Θα ζητηθεί από τους συμμετέχοντες να συγγράψουν την ώρα του εργαστηρίου μία κοινωνική ιστορία που θα έχει ως θέμα την εξήγηση ενός συναισθήματος με βάση τα 10 κριτήρια που έχει προσδιορίσει η Carol Gray.

ΣΥΜΠΕΡΑΣΜΑ: Όσοι από εμάς ζούμε και/ή δουλεύουμε με παιδιά και ενήλικες με αυτιστικές διαταραχές πρέπει να προσπαθήσουμε να εισχωρήσουμε στον κόσμο τους, μιας και δε δύνανται να κάνουν το αντίστροφο. Πρέπει να κατανοήσουμε και να δώσουμε έμφαση στις αυτιστικές εμπειρίες, με στόχο να βρούμε τρόπους να βοηθήσουμε κάθε άτομο να αντιμετωπίσει ένα σύ-στημα κοινωνικών κανόνων που του είναι «εξωγήινο». Το κλειδί στον αυτισμό είναι το κλειδί στη φύση της ανθρώπινης ζωής». (Wing, 1996)

Functional dialectic system approach is a short-term, relationship based and solution focused approach. The basic axiom is that all behavior is functional and carried out in a social-relational context in order to ensure the provision of the person’s basic needs for order, security, belongingness and identity. The second maxim is that behavior is dialecticallymeaningful.

Dialectics means that everything includes its opposite and there is a tension between the two poles. Thus, a conflict is inherent (control is also a loss of control. The existence of a conflict creates tension. The reduction of tension (the problem) necessitates a change (the solution). The change results from the interaction between the person and the situation and is a synthesis which creates a new dialectics. Consequently, change is inevitable. This imparts a very optimistic and positive view of the person and the prognosis. The functionality of the symptom is derived by understanding its dialectic meaning (The problem is actually the solution). Using this approach we look at the meaning and function of a pathological behavior and help the person’s become aware of its functional aspects. Realizing the dialectic meaning of the symptom frequently and its function leads to a redefinition of the presenting problem and allows for a quicker, more effective therapeutic outcome.

This distress arises from the caregiver role itself as well as experiencing the patient’s suffering. Problems occur when emotions concerning the illness stay unresolved. It has been showed that counseling therapy is connected with the minimization of depression, anxiety, better family relationships and better social interaction.This presentation, will try to show the differentiation among counseling perspectives which are used for the families of cancer patients, and their results. It will also present the results of a preliminary study based on group counseling which tried to investigate if the cancer patients and their family caregivers reported reduced depressive, anxiety symptoms and better psychological outcomes after the conclusion of the therapeutic trajectories. Implications of research on clinical trials and recommendations for practice and future

research were proposed.Conclusions: Research demonstrates that patients and their families react to cancer as a unit as a result they both have needs for help of mental health care professionals. The group counseling can intervene to the appreciation of emotional and psychological needs of patients and family members. It can also help the development of intimate relationships and the effective management of concerns based on the illness.

introduction and Aims: The present study aimed to compare three anxiety management techniques, in order to determine their relative effectiveness in reducing state anxiety among students.

methods:The study used a pre-post experimental design with three groups (PMR; PMR+ visualization and Music condition).Participants were 42 students. Before and after each session all participants completed the State Trait Inventory for Cognitive and Somatic Anxiety (STICSA). Internal consistency values were αsomatic=.89, αcognitive=.85.

Results: Paired samples t-tests with Bonferroni corrections were conducted (p = .05/6 (number of tests) = .008. Results showed significant differences between pre and post-test conditions for Somatic anxiety: in PMR Condition, t (14) = 6.14, p = .000, and the Music Condition, t (12) = 3.32, p =.006; but not for PMR + visualization. For Cognitive anxiety: in PMR condition, t (14) = 5.83, p =.000, but not for the other two

Discussion: PMR has positive effects on both somatic and cognitive components of state anxiety. Visualization component seems to ‘ruin’ the positive somatic and cognitive effects of progressive muscle relaxation. Music seems to be beneficial at least in terms of relieving somatic anxiety symptoms but not cognitive ones. Findings are difficult to generalize because the small sample.

Aim: The investigation of the relationship among optimism, health self-assessment, nutrition and lifestyle.

methods: A quantitative study was conducted on 500 adults. A standardized questionnaire containing questions regarding self-assessment of health (SAH), nutritional habits and the Life Orientation Test(GrLot-R) was used. A qualitative study was conducted through interviews and focus groups.

Results: The majority of participants assessed their health as good and were very optimistic (GrLot-R=20,47±4,017). There was a positive association (p≤0,05) between SHA, exercise, sleep, consumption of fruits, dairy products, high-fibre cereals, water and negative with chronic disease and smoking. The association between GrLot-R and fruits, salads, olive oil, high-fibre cereals, water and dairy consumption was statistically significant (p≤0,05). There was a positive relation between SAH and GrLot-R. The qualitative study revealed that participants had not observed effect on their health and optimism from foods but only on their mood. The impact of exercise, chronic diseases and smoking on their health, as well as an effect of family and stress on their optimism was recognized.

Conclusions: Lifestyle and nutrition influence health self-assessment and optimism. Informative interventions for the promotion of health are deemed a necessity.

introduction: Young people (YP) have proven to be a challenging group to engage within mental health settings (MHS). There is a need to learn how YP experience their initial encounters with MHS in the assessment phase. Most of the knowledge in this area are derived from a professional point of view, with little work done to explore YP’s own perceptions of services they had received.

Aims: This research aimed to explore how YP make sense of their experiences of assessments at MHS.

methods: A qualitative methodology was employed. YP between the ages of 13 and 18 who had undergone an assessment in MHS were invited to an hour-long, in-depth narrative interview. Sixteen interviews were collected and themes were identified through thematic analysis.

Results: Findings show how YP made sense of their readiness for, and hesitations about engaging with the service, the multifaceted processes they used to disclose personal information, and how they made meaning of the assessment at the interpersonal and intrapersonal level.

Discussion: This study shows that YP can provide useful information about their mental health experiences. The findings propose clinical implications to raise awareness about YP’s experiences and to make adjustment for their needs.

introduction and Aims: A new type of eating disorder is emerging that sees people obsessed with nutrition that enables them to improve their health. Orthorexics develop their own increasingly specific food rules, and they employ a long time gradually more and more in search of a way to remain adherent to the diet that are imposed. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between orthorexic behavior and social skills. We hypothesized that in orthorexics have encountered limitations in social skills.

methods: To a sample of 400 subjects were administered the Orto-15, the SIB (Scale for Interpersonal Behavior), ERQ (Emotion Regulation Questionnaire), and the BES (Basic Empathy Scale).

Results: The results confirmed assumptions allowing to detect significant findings, both correlational and in terms of intergroup and intragroup variance. There were significant differences especially in relation to gender. Discussion: In addition to detect a significant percentage of orthorexics among the population sampled, the study opens to a deepening of the current literature on the Orthorexia contributing through reference to the social competence of orthorexic’s personality.

Keywords: orthorexia, empathy, emotion regulation, interpersonal behavior.

ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΗ: Σημαντική πρόοδος επιτελείται τα τελευταία χρόνια στη διερεύνηση της αιτιολογ ας, της παθογένειας και της θεραπευτικής αντιμετώπισης της δυσλεξίας. Στην πρόοδο, έχουν συμβάλει η ψυχογλωσσολογία, η παθολογική ανατομία, η νευροψυχολογία, οι απεικονιστικές μέθοδοι παρατήρησης του εγκεφάλου, η μοριακή γενετική και η μουσική εκπαίδευση (μουσικο-θεραπεία). Η μουσικοθεραπεία και η μουσική γενικότερα χρησιμοποιούνται σε όλον τον κόσμο σαν άριστο εκπαιδευτικό εργαλείο για την βελτίωση της μνήμης και άλλων μαθησιακών διαδικα-σιών (Harvey, 1997). Ψυχολόγοι στο Hong Kong (Ho et al., 2003) κατέληξαν στο συμπέρασμα ότι η ενασχόληση με τη μουσική κατά την παιδική ηλικία των δυσλεξικών ατόμων μπορεί να βοηθήσει στην ανάπτυξη και βελτίωση της μνήμης, της προσωρινής χωρικής λογικής (spatial-temporal reasoning), της χωροχρονικής αντίληψης (spatial-time intelligence), της χωρικής αναγνώρισης (spatial-recognition), της γνώσης και της μάθησης (Σουφλέρη, 2004).

ΣΚΟΠΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΕΡΕΥΝΗΤΙΚΑ ΕΡΩΤΗΜΑΤΑ: Στόχος της εισήγησης είναι να διαφανεί η βελ-τίωση συγκεκριμένων συμπτωμάτων δυσλεξίας μέσω της μουσικής διδασκαλίας. Ειδικότερα, θα διερευνηθεί το κατά πόσον η μουσική εκμάθηση-εξάσκηση τόσο σε ελληνικούς ρυθμούς όσο και σε ελληνικές μελωδίες, επιδρά θετικά στους μαθητές με δυσλεξία όσον αφορά στο σύμπτωμα της ανάγνωσης χωρίς ρυθμό, κατά το οποίο παρατηρείται συστηματική παράβλεψη σημείων στίξης.

ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ: Η έρευνα θα επικεντρωθεί στη μελέτη μεμονωμένων περιπτώσεων μαθητών με δυσλεξία. Θα χρησιμοποιηθεί για την έρευνα αυτή η μελέτη περίπτωσης κι η ανάλυση θα ακολουθήσει ποιοτικούς κανόνες έρευνας. Η βελτίωση της άρρυθμης ανάγνωσης θα επιδιωχθεί μέσω της βελτίωσης των μουσικών ικανοτήτων.

ΑΠΟΤΕΛΕΣΜΑΤΑ: Πρόκειται για μια καινοτόμο έρευνα σε μαθητές με δυσλεξία, αφού η ελληνική μουσική δεν έχει χρησιμοποιηθεί έως σήμερα για την αντιμετώπιση της διαταραχής αυ-τής. Αναμένεται μια άμεση βελτίωση βασικών συμπτωμάτων δυσλεξίας, η οποία θα διατηρηθεί και μετά το πέρας του παρεμβατικού προγράμματος.

Most of the studies available on adult psychological well-being have been centered on

Western countries. However, psychological well-being does not have the same meaning across the world. The Euro-American and African conceptions and experiences of psychological well-being differ systematically. As a result, questions like, how do people living in developing African countries, like Ethiopia, report their psychological well-being; what would the context-specific prominent determinants of their psychological well-being be, needs a definitive answer. This study is, therefore, aimed at developing a new theory that would address these socio-cultural issues of psychological well-being. Consequently, data were obtained through interview and open ended questionnaire. A total of 438 adults, working in governmental and non-governmental organizations situated in Addis Ababa, participated in the study. Appropriate qualitative method of data analysis, i.e. thematic content analysis, was employed for analyzing the data. The thematic analysis involves a type of abductive analysis, driven both by theoretical interest and the nature of the data. Reliability and credibility issues were addressed appropriately. The finding identified five major categories of themes, which are viewed as essential in determining the conceptions and experiences of psychological well-being of Ethiopian adults. These were; socio-cultural harmony, social cohesion, security, competence and accomplishment, and the self. Detailed discussion on the rational for including these themes was made and appropriate positive psychology interventions were proposed. Researchers are also encouraged to expand this qualitative research and in turn develop a suitable instrument taping the psychological wellbeing of adults with different socio-cultural orientations.

The potential effect of mental disorders on emotion-related personality constructs has been the subject of limited research. In spite of intuitive link between mental disorders and emotional intelligence, there is still lack of research literature in this area, particularly in clinical samples. Generally, disturbances in emotions are increasingly recognized as general, clinically important characteristics of most mental disorders because emotions provide the fundamental basis for most of them. The present study was designed to investigate whether emotional self-perceptions of individuals with different mental disorders differ from those of without mental illnesses. We compared the trait emotional intelligence profiles of 70 inpatients with the diagnosis of different mental disorders against the profiles of 126 group-matched controls using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue) (K. V. Petrides, 2009). A multivariate analysis of variance revealed a significant main effect for group with patients with mental disorders scoring lower than controls on most TEIQue facets (Wilks’ λ = .54, F (14,172) = 10.68, p=.000, ηp2 = .465). There were also some significant main effects of gender (Wilks’ λ = .87, F (14,172) = 1.76, p=.048, ηp2 = .125) and significant interaction effect between participants group and gender (Wilks’ λ = .87, F (14,172) = 2.07, p=.032, ηp2 = .132). The results suggest that emotional intelligence could provide a new perspective and important information for the study of mental disorders and could present an unique contributor to overall state of mental health. More research is required to replicate the results with clinical population, but further studies should be done with clinical sample of individuals with the same diagnosis.

introduction: Following the diagnosis of a mental illness, people are forced to face the stigma associated with it. Despite this knowledge, little work has been done to explore how stigma affects the process of recovery from mental illness.

Aims: The purpose of this mixed method study was to explore how stigma against mental illness has an impact on recovery.

methods: Sixty-five participants completed surveys that included measures of internalized stigma and recovery and twenty of those individuals participated in a semistructured interview about their experiences since being diagnosed. Predictors of recovery were evaluated using regression analysis of quantitative data and interview transcripts were analyzed thematically.

Results: Quantitative and qualitative analyses converged in suggesting that recovery is promoted by confronting and rejecting stigma. Recovery is facilitated by participating in meaningful social roles that facilitated the development of a positive post-diagnosis identity despite the persistence of social stigma.

Discussion: Results suggest that stigma needs to be addressed directly as part of facilitating recovery for people diagnosed with mental illnesses. Psychosocial interventions that reduce internalized stigma and create social environments and experiences that are de-stigmatizing may have the potential to support paths toward positive post-diagnosis identities for people affected by mental illness.

inTRoDuCTion: Adolescence is the period of transition from childhood to adulthood. Adolescence period is a transition, strange and wonderful one. It is the period that unbridles what is already built and build up something new. In this period, there is always tension and turmoil-both physical and psychological. Two passions over ride all other passions during this period and these passions are EROS(LOVE) and THANATOS(DEATH).Changes in emotional relationship with other are the significant features of teen-ager’s tantrums. In adolescence he/she lives for life of senses and finds deep affinity in opposite sex. When an adolescent fails to get this or fails to fulfill his/her desire, death wish which is always lurking over powers him/her.

oBJECTiVEs: 1. find out problems related to tantrums, 2. asses the relationship between emotional changes and love/death, 3. Suggest education, counseling to overcome tantrums

mEThoD: Descriptive Survey with self made Questionnaire.REsulT/ DisCussion: The result shows that emotional disturbances leads to errors

Εισαγωγή: Η απόφαση να τεθούν σε διαθεσιμότητα από τον Υπουργό Παιδείας εκατοντάδες εκπαιδευτικοί της Τεχνικής και Επαγγελματικής Εκπαίδευσης το 2013, προκάλεσε σημαντικά προβλήματα στα ίδια τα άτομα, στις οικογένειές τους και σε ολόκληρη την ελληνική κοινωνία.

Σκοπός της παρούσας ανακοίνωσης είναι να παρουσιάσει τις κοινωνικές και ψυχολογικές επιδράσεις που προκάλεσε η απόφαση αυτή. Ο πληθυσμός της έρευνάς μας ήταν 268 εκπαι- δευτικοί σε διαθεσιμότητα, 46 άνδρες (17,2%), και 222 γυναίκες (82,8%).

Η μεθοδολογία της έρευνας περιλάμβανε ποσοτική διερεύνηση και τα ερευνητικά μας ερ-γαλεία ήταν η κλίμακα μέτρησης της κατάθλιψης CESD – R και η ανάλυση περιεχομένου για την καταγραφή των κοινωνικών επιδράσεων.

Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι σύμφωνα με τις δηλώσεις των 268 εκπαιδευτικών που απά- ντησαν στις ερωτήσεις της κλίμακας CESD - R, 55 εκπαιδευτικοί δεν παρουσιάζουν καταθλιπτι- κή συμπτωματολογία (20,5%) ενώ οι υπόλοιποι 213 παρουσιάζουν καταθλιπτικά συμπτώματα (79,5%) και ήταν θετικοί στο screening. Από την ανάλυση περιεχομένου επίκαιρων κειμένων προέκυψε ότι η αναστάτωση που δημιουργήθηκε από το εν λόγω μέτρο, της διαθεσιμότητας των εκπαιδευτικών, δημιούργησε αλυσιδωτές αντιδράσεις στην κοινωνική ζωή, καθώς πέρα από τη μείωση της αγοραστικής δύναμης των νοικοκυριών των υπό διερεύνηση εκπαιδευτικών, προκλή- θηκε κοινωνική αναστάτωση στο χώρο της εκπαίδευσης, οικογενειακά προβλήματα και φοβικό κοινωνικό περιβάλλον στο δημόσιο και στην αγορά εργασία.

Based on the dynamic systems theory of antisocial behavior, this study proposed a bi-directional longitudinal model of associations between power assertive parenting and child externalizing problems. This transactional process was estimated for the years preceding transition to school. The data were from a four year longitudinal and nationally representative study of 735 children and their mothers in Turkey. Parenting dimensions were measured both by observational instruments and maternal self-reports. Child externalizing behaviors were measured by the ECBI. Structural equation modeling was used. The results indicated that both power assertive parenting and child externalizing problems at age 3 had lasting effects on the measures at ages 6 and 7, controlling for simple autoregressive effects. Also, power assertive parenting and child externalizing problems were strongly associated concurrently. Maternal power assertion had significant and substantial predictive effects on subsequent child externalizing behaviors, controlling for earlier child and parenting behaviors. However, externalizing behaviors of the child did not predict later maternal power assertion. With this study, dynamics and bi-directionality of parenting and child externalizing problems were investigated, shedding light on major theories of behavioral development, identifying the relative contributions of the child and the mother to the process that could escalate externalizing problems.

introduction: The Self, from a neurobiologist’s perspective is an experience created by the brain to define external and internal reality for the organism by seamlessly integrating perceptual experiences and cognitive mechanisms. Seemingly diverse clinical states like general anaesthesia, drug induced psychosis,mystic states, depersonalization, out of body experiences, mis- identification syndromes and functional psychoses like schizophrenia are all in some way or the other altered states of perceiving the self. Most studies on these conditions implicate the mesial cortical structures ;the ‘default network’ of the brain.

objectives: To focus on the default network to unravel unravel the pathology behind a large number of clinical conditions in which the predominant symptoms are disturbances of ‘Self’ in a very basic sense.

methodology: Review of literature on studies that have have examined many of the aforesaid clinical conditions to bring together all the conditions in which the sense of self is altered and to find a common aetio-pathological thread.

Conclusion: A closer look at the default network will help us unravel the mysteries behind many strange experiences like mystic phenomenon and out of body experiences as well as little understood pathological conditions like schizophrenia.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) are currently the most efficacious treatments for Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Many clients, however, remain symptomatic following treatment. As a result, refusal of treatment, withdrawal from treatment, and partial adherence to treatment are common amongst ERP. Such limitations have caused few professionals to actually engage in ERP therapy, which has warranted the exploration of alternative treatments. This study evaluated an online self-help treatment program for OCD (the OCD Doctor Online); a 4-week Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) program which has implemented strategies from Wells’ Metacognitive model of OCD. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether an online self-help treatment using MCT would reduce symptoms of OCD, reduce unhelpful metacognitions and improve quality of life. Treatment effectiveness was assessed using a case series methodology in 3 consecutively referred individuals. At posttreatment, all participants showed reductions in unhelpful metacognitive beliefs (MCQ-30) and improvements in quality of life (Q-LES-Q), which were maintained through to 4 week follow-up. Two of the three participants showed reductions in OCD symptomology (OCI-R), which were further reduced at 4-week follow-up. The present study suggests that internet-based self-help treatment may be an effective means of delivering MCT to adults with OCD.

EARlY DEVEloPmEnT oF A nEW lEVEl ii AuTism sCREEning Tool: ThE AuTism DisCRiminATiVE Tool (ADT). PREliminARY REsulTs.Mrs sophie Carlier

inTRoDuCTion: In Belgium and France, autism reference centres were set up in order to provider quicker access to specialised teams and to improve the diagnosis process of ASD. However, these teams are daily confronted with late and inadequate referrals. To address these issues, we developed the Autism Discriminative Tool (ADT), a new level II screening questionnaire targeting children with developmental difficulties.

oBJECTiVEs oF ThE sTuDY: The first ADT study was designed to finalise the questionnaire’s content by identifying which items showed the strongest discriminative properties between autism and 3 other groups.

mEThoD: This preliminary study involves 196 children grouped according to their diagnosis: autism, learning disabilities, language impairment and psychiatric disorders. ADT questionnaires were completed retrospectively based on the patient’s records.

REsulTs: Preliminary results show how the ADT could help discriminate a risk of autism from the other pathologies by identifying discriminative items for ASD, mainly in the domains of stereotyped behaviours and sensory issues. Results also provide us with specific behavioural profiles for all groups.

ConClusion: The ADT might help professionals decide whose children need a specific autism assessment. Results also clarify the psychopathology of all included groups, therefore contributing to the question of differential diagnosis.

The World Health Organization defines Counseling as a proceso extremely focused, time-limited and specific that, through dialogue and personal interaction, helps individuals to resolve or manage problems and responding to forms of discomfort and psychosocial needs, allowing the development of personal strategies adaptation. From the point of view of health and welfare Counseling, while not constituting a psychotherapeutic practice, is a good helping relationship that characterizes the dyad operator-suffering, and involves a process of communication (verbal and non-verbal) by which the ‘operator enters empathy in the world of those who live the discomfort, be it of a physical, psychological, relational or existential. The basic purpose is to enable the individual, through appropriate techniques of relationship and interview a realistic view of themselves in order to better address their existential situation, and their choices, developing maximum possible resources and autonomy. In the present work, the proposal is to show the importance of a combined and co-relationship between the various professionals to bring tangible benefits and important to all actors of the social system in which we live. Specifically in the world of health and medicine this need is shown quite clearly and it seems one of the settings solver of this long ordeal in which he entered for the past more than thirty years the world of care.

ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΗ: Σύμφωνα με τους Strully και Strully, η συνεκπαίδευση ορίζεται ως μια διαδικασία ολοκλήρωσης. Είναι η διαδικασία του να φέρνει κανείς κοντά όλα τα παιδιά, ώστε να μαθαί-νουν μαζί. Σημαίνει να βοηθάς όλους τους ανθρώπους να αναγνωρίσουν και να εκτιμήσουν τα ιδιαίτερα χαρίσματα που διαθέτει ο καθένας. Ο όρος συνεκπαίδευση περιγράφει τη διαδικασία κατά την οποία το σχολείο επιχειρεί να ανταποκριθεί στις ανάγκες του κάθε μαθητή ξεχωριστά μέσα από την αναμόρφωση και την αναδιοργάνωση της πολιτικής και της πρακτικής του σχο-λείου. Η πρόσφατη ανάπτυξη προγραμμάτων ένταξης και συνεκπαίδευσης στην πρωτοβάθμια εκπαίδευση σε πολλές χώρες, καθιστά αναγκαία τη διερεύνηση των στάσεων τόσο των εκπαι-δευτικών όσο και των μαθητών που ανήκουν στη πρωτοβάθμια εκπαίδευση και στον ελληνικό χώρο, δεδομένης της προοπτικής εφαρμογής της νέας νομοθεσίας για την Ειδική Αγωγή και Εκπαίδευση (Ν. 4186/ 2013).

ΣΚΟΠΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΕΡΕΥΝΗΤΙΚΑ ΕΡΩΤΗΜΑΤΑ: Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας είναι: α) να με-λετήσει σε βάθος την έννοια την συνεκπαίδευσης β) να καταγράψει - εξετάσει με κριτικό τρόπο τις αντιλήψεις των εκπαιδευτικών γενικής - ειδικής αγωγής πρωτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης ως προς την προοπτική της συνεκπαίδευσης των παιδιών με και χωρίς ειδικές ανάγκες.

ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ: Η ερευνητική στρατηγική που θα χρησιμοποιηθεί είναι η ποσοτική έρευνα. Για τη συλλογή δεδομένων, θα χρησιμοποιηθεί σταθμισμένο ερωτηματολόγιο, προκειμένου να διε- ρευνηθούν και να αναλυθούν (SPSS έκδοση 6.0) οι στάσεις – απόψεις εκπαιδευτικών πρωτο- βάθμιας εκπαίδευσης στον ελλαδικό χώρο.

ΑΠΟΤΕΛΕΣΜΑΤΑ: Αναμένεται α) να διαφανούν οι απόψεις – στάσεις των εκπαιδευτικών πρωτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης για το θέμα της σχολικής συνεκπαίδευσης, β) να προταθούν τρόποι υλοποίησης αυτού του εγχειρήματος και γ) να προσδιοριστούν οι συνθήκες κάτω από τις οποίες ο κάθε μαθητής με ειδικές ανάγκες μπορεί να αποτελεί ενεργό μέλος της σχολικής κοινότητας

Lifestyle diseases in Albania recently have increased dramatically. The etiology of these diseases is directly linked to health behaviors, unbalanced diets, lack of physical activity, smoking, alcohol and health beliefs that individuals have regarding their health. Studies show that in early youth happens and the development of these behaviors which are then stabilized as a stable repertoire. Factors associated with these behaviors can be divided into two major groups including 1 individual factors (such as attributes, beliefs, locus of control, etc.) 2. social factors (family, society, education). The purpose of the study This study aimed to examine the relative impact of individual versus social factors on health behaviors and health beliefs among adults in Albania. Method: In the selection of participants was used the stratified sampling method (Sampling stratified according to the level and profile of the study). As a measuring instrument was used Health Behavior Questionnaire from Jessor et al., (1992) and Health locus of control beliefs (MHCL scales) from Kenneth A. Wallston 2007, Questionnaire for Health and Lifestyle Survey Biemer, P. And Lyberg, L 2003. The following procedure was anonymous self-reporting and confidential by completing the questionnaires. The data will be analyzed in two stages 1. Descriptive Analysis (%, average, SD) 2. regression analysis (stepwise regression with two blocks of factors: individual factors b. Social factors. The importance of the study: The study results show a picture of behaviours and health beliefs among adults in Albania and individual and social factors that influence them. Results generate research questions / hypotheses which will be studied continuously, with a population of representative. Also the results are extremely important in the context of Albanian citizens because they can suggest ways for the improvement of health behaviours among adults in Albania.

τη συμβουλευτική συμβολή του εκπαιδευτικού. Αντικείμενο της ερευνητικής αυτής εργασίας εί-ναι η διερεύνηση των κοινωνικών αναπαραστάσεων των εκπαιδευτικών για το επάγγελμά τους και για τον συμβουλευτικό τους ρόλο. Ένα από τα βασικά ερωτήματα που τίθεται σ’αυτή την με-λέτη είναι: κατά πόσο οι εκπαιδευτικοί συμπεριλαμβάνουν τη συμβουλευτική στο έργο τους, πώς την αντιλαμβάνονται και με ποιες πρακτικές την εφαρμόζουν. Το δείγμα της έρευνας αποτελείται από 15 συμμετέχοντες (7εκπαιδευτικοί προσχολικής και 8 εκπαιδευτικοί δημοτικής εκπαίδευσης) Η μέθοδος που ακολουθήθηκε ήταν οι ημιδομημένες συνεντεύξεις. Οι άξονες των συνεντεύξε-ων αναφέρονται στην αναπαράσταση του επαγγελματικού ρόλου του εκπαιδευτικού, και στην αναπαράσταση του συμβουλευτικούς τους έργου (αιτίες, τρόποι, πρακτικές). Στα δεδομένα έγινε ανάλυση περιεχομένου και λόγου. Το αναπαραστασιακό περιεχόμενο για το εκπαιδευτικό έργο καταδεικνύει από την μια την απουσία της συμβουλευτικής διάστασης, ενώ από την άλλη , όταν οι ερωτήσεις γίνονται συγκεκριμένες, τονίζεται τόσο η σημασία όσο και η αναγκαιότητά της. Οι εκπαιδευτικοί συνδέουν το συμβουλευτικό τους ρόλο κυρίως με θέματα που αφορούν την ποι- ότητα των διαπροσωπικών σχέσεων και λιγότερο με μαθησιακά ζητήταμα. Τέλος διαπιστώνεται η ανεπαρκής κατάρτισή τους σε θέματα συμβουλευτικής.

This presentation will be concerned with theoretical and clinical implications of spoken language within the contest of the therapeutic (transference) situatation. Structural and dynamical characteristics of spoken logos (its semiotic, semantic and prosodic functions)will be analysed within the framework of the modern critical psychoanalysis and actual theories of the orality. In the hermeneutical background of this analysis will be the (technical and theoretical) problem of dealing with the primitive mental states. This states are unmentalized, unsimbolized and cognitively unreachable.

In this work we will present our therapeutic experiences and theoretical considerations that are concerned with this (we believe) important topic. It is our belief that it could be of interest to all kinds of professionals that are dealing with the trauma and post-traumatic states, and (to use well known expression of Betty Joseph) with the patients who are difficult to reach.

Key words: Speech, language, primitive mental states

introduction and Aims: Most of the studies about mood congruent effect focus on people who have emotional disorder, while few of them care about normal individuals. Many studies have been conducted using verbal stimuli, and given the importance of facial stimuli in interpersonal relationships and evidence that similar brain regions are activated by both emotional words and faces, our study hypothesizes that mood congruent effect also affects face recognition in normal individuals to some extents.

method: We induced participants to a respective mood by means of viewing a happy, neutral or sad movie clip. Then they were instructed to learn some emotional faces and after an interference task, they were asked to recognize whether faces appeared before.

Results: The findings indicated that individuals in induced depress mood had significantly better recognition of negative faces than the neutral and positive faces, while people in induced elated mood exhibited a greater score in response to the positive faces.

Discussion: This study demonstrated the influence of mood congruent effect on face recognition in normal individuals, which fill in the blank of the importance of face and mood in interpersonal relationships among normal people.

introduction and Aims: Many studies suggest that number processing has something to do with spatial attention. Perceiving numbers causes horizontal shifts of attention. These results can be explained by mental number line. Some literatures say that we have both horizontal and vertical mental number line. So we wonder if we have vertical mental number line and if the number processing can affect the vertical spatial attention.

methods: We fixate a white point centered between two boxes. After a 500ms, one of four white digits appears for 300ms. After the digit is removed, a random delay elapses, followed by the presentation of a target in one of the boxes. Observers respond on the space bar as soon as they detect the target, which appear randomly on either the above or below side.

Results: The result shows that the magnitude of the number and the location of the stimuli have interaction effect. Small numbers cause faster responds on the stimuli underneath, while large numbers cause faster responds on the stimuli above.

Discussion: It demonstrates the influence of number processing on vertical spatial attention and the vertical mental number line in our minds.

Background: Primary process, defined as freely mobile cathexis, characterizes dreams and unconscious (Freud, 1922). Presumably, darkness elicits fear – involves separation, lack of safety and mobilization of fantasy (Ranschburg, 1973) – through enhancing this process.

Aims: To examine whether the level of primary process contents elevated in the dark, and whether this effect was moderated by fear of the dark. Methods: 78 undergraduates (41 women), with the average age of 21,4 (SD=2,15) participated in our study. Two experimental conditions were applied; participants were instructed to wait in a dark or light room for 5 minutes, then to write a story in semi-dark or light room. The rate of primary process contents in stories was measured using the Hungarian version (Pólya & Szász, 2013) of the Regressive Imagery Dictionary (Martindale, 1975).

Results: Dark condition stories included significantly more primary process contents than light condition stories. The difference between the conditions was more pronounced in the case of participants who reported more intensive fear of the dark. Conclusions: Our results indicate that darkness universally effects occurrence of primary process contents. Furthermore, fear of the dark increased the proportion of these contents, which highlights the potential relationship between fear of the dark and unconscious contents.

Όλοι οι σύγχρονοι παιδαγωγοί και επαγγελματίες ψυχικής υγείας συμφωνούν ότι η κοινω- νικοσυναισθηματική ανάπτυξη των παιδιών έχει κρίσιμη σημασία για την επιτυχία στο σχολείο και στη ζωή.

Αυτή η μελέτη παρουσιάζει το «Βήματα για τη ζωή», ένα ετήσιο Ελληνικό σχολικό πρόγραμ-μα Προαγωγής Ψυχικής Υγείας που στοχεύει στη βελτίωση της κοινωνικής-συναισθηματικής επάρκειας μαθητών Δημοτικού ηλικίας 6-8 ετών, μέσω της ανάπτυξης αυτοεκτίμησης, ενσυ- ναίσθησης και υπευθυνότητας και μέσω της διδασκαλίας δεξιοτήτων φιλίας, συνεργασίας, συ- γκέντρωσης προσοχής, διαχείρισης συναισθημάτων, και επίλυσης προβλημάτων. Το πρόγραμμα χρησιμοποιεί ως κύριες στρατηγικές την ενεργητική ακρόαση, τον κλιμακούμενο διάλογο, το πρότυπο του ενήλικα, τα παιχνίδια ρόλων, την επεξεργασία ιστοριών και την επιχειρηματολογία, ενώ εξασφαλίζει τη συνεργασία της οικογένειας με ενημερωτικές επιστολές και κοινές δράσεις.

Η αποτελεσματικότητα του προγράμματος ερευνήθηκε κατά την πιλοτική εφαρμογή του σε δείγμα 2.830 μαθητών της Νότιας Αττικής με δομημένο αυτοσχέδιο ερωτηματολόγιο που χορη- γήθηκε στην αρχή και στο τέλος του ακαδημαϊκού έτους 2013-14. Το ερωτηματολόγιο μετρού-σε τη συχνότητα εκδήλωσης συμπεριφορών -κατανεμημένων σε δεξιότητες/υποκλίμακες- όπως παρατηρούνταν από εκπαιδευτικούς και γονείς. Η ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων έδειξε υψηλό- τερη βελτίωση της Πειραματικής Ομάδας έναντι της Ομάδας Ελέγχου (P<0,001) στο σύνολο των διδαγμένων και αξιολογούμενων δεξιοτήτων.

Είναι σημαντικό, ιδιαίτερα κατά την πρώτη σχολική ηλικία, σχολεία και κοινότητες να υιοθε-τούν και να εφαρμόζουν επιστημονικά τεκμηριωμένες προσεγγίσεις που προάγουν την ψυχική υγεία των παιδιών.

introduction: Early childhood is a crucial period for language development and building social skills. While distinct, these two processes may impact upon each other. Aims: The current study aimed to identify the directional associations between expressive language and prosocial behaviour between three and five years of age. Methods: Participants included 17, 181 children and their families enrolled in the UK Millennium Cohort Study (MCS). Children’s expressive language and prosocial behaviour were assessed at three and five years of age utilizing standardized assessments and parent reports. Cross-lagged models were used for data analysis. Results: Better expressive language at three years was associated with increased prosocial behaviour at five years. Additionally, expressive language and prosocial behaviour were positively associated at five years. Conclusions: Overall, the results suggest that improvement in expressive language in the first three years of development may be associated with children’s social competence upon entry into formal schooling.

introduction: Attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder (ADHD)is a prevalent disorder of child onset, characterized by attentional dysfunction, impulsivity and hyperactivity. Indeed more studies have been published on ADHD and its variations than other disorders of childhood, is the continuing gaps in our knowledge about efficacy of treatments on ADHD.

Aims: This study has compared the effective of 3 interventions on ADHD symptoms, attention span and academic performance in children with ADHD.

methods: A total of 197 children who were 7 to 10 years of age and had ADHD as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition, were assigned to 6 months of medication management (Ritalin followed by monthly visits); behavioral treatment, the two combined; and control group. Child Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/

ADHD) Testwas used to assess attention span; and the Academic Performance Index (API) measured academic performance and progressof individual schools. Data were analyzed through ANOVA.

Results: For most ADHD symptoms, children in the combined treatment and medication management groups showed significantly greater improvement than that given behavioral treatment. In addition, combined and medication management treatments did not differ significantly on any ADHD symptoms, but Comb intervention was substantially superior to attention span and academic performance; Ritalin intervention for attention span; and behavioral treatment for academic performance.

Conclusions: For ADHD symptoms, medication management and combined intervention were superior to behavioral treatment. Combined treatment did yield significantly greater benefits than medication management or behavior treatment for attention span and academic performance. Ritalin mayreduceADHD symptoms and behavior treatmentmay have provided modest advantages for positive academic outcomes.It’s possible take place combined intervention to treat ADHD.Medication treatment and behavior therapy are both considered effective treatments for ADHD; the combination of these treatments is generally regarded as an ideal approach for many children.

How pregnancy message is disclosed to parents contribute towards their reaction. The purpose of the study was to explore the reaction of Tshivenda speaking mothers towards adolescence pregnancy of their own children.methods: The study adopted qualitative approach and exploratory design to access in-depth data regarding the phenomenon under investigation. In order to select seven (7) mothers whose adolescents were either pregnant or already had babies, purposive sampling was adopted. In order to collect data, semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted.Results: The following are some of the themes that emerged from the data: Reactions to the adolescents, factors that influenced reactions, coping with the reality of adolescent’s pregnancy.Discussion: Realisation of the reality that adolescent children are pregnant brings to mothers different emotional reactions. Such reactions are influences by amongst others fear of the future, impact of pregnancy on the relationship with the father and the perceptions from the community and church leaders. Although these emotions are sudden, for some mothers they last longer whilst for others are quickly dealt with

introduction and Aims: Endometriosis is a common multifactorial gynaecological disease, affecting 10% of women in their reproductive ages. This disease causes physical and psychological problems. International studies have shown that women living with endometriosis had lower health-related quality of life (HRQOL) associated with lower sexual functioning, higher depression and anxiety level. The disease also affects the social life of these women. In the present study we explore the predictor factors of HRQOL – including physical and psychosocial factors – in Hungarian sample.

methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire was applied with women diagnosed with endometriosis, over 18 years old, without diagnosed psychiatric disorder. Demographic, disease and lifestyle characteristics, HRQOL, psychological status (depression, anxiety), BMI, body attitudes, sexual functioning, social support and stress scales were measured in the questionnaire.

Results: Our pilot results combined with focus groups showed that all the measured factors can be associated with HRQOL. For further results and modelling the relationship between the measured factors, we will extend our adatbase in the beginning of 2015.

Discussion: The main predictors of HRQOL will give the opportunity to develop a psychological intervention program aligned women living with endometriosis.

introduction: (i) The current dominant approach characterizes delusions as the result of different deficits at perceptual and cognitive levels. On this view, delusions are intrinsically pathological; they have no beneficial role whatsoever. (ii) Thought insertion is one of the most severe symptoms of psychotic disorders. Patients report the belief that certain thoughts are placed into their minds by external agents such as persons, devices, collective of people, or surrounding inanimate entities, among many others. Aims: To explore the possible role that affective deficits might have in the aetiology of thought insertion.

methods: Empirical and conceptual analysis. Results: (i) The deficit approach to thought insertion is incomplete for it neglects the role that affective deficits might in shaping inserted thoughts. (ii) There is compelling empirical evidence to think of affective states as important doxastic forces in the process of formation of the delusion.

Discussion: (i) I propose an alternative view that allows us to offer a more comprehensive and complete picture of the phenomenon. (ii) I claim that the idea of delusions of thought insertion having a potential adaptive role is not inconsistent with the dominant deficit account if we understand this role as secondary to the occurrence of the delusion. (iii) I conclude by integrating the main insights of my analysis with the current ‘two-factor’ deficit approach to thought insertion.

A panic attack is the core syndrome and defining feature of Panic Disorder (PD), and is typically accompanied by acute physical symptoms including cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological like, gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms (Goodwin et al., 2005).

A useful paradigm to study panic and anxiety is inhalation of carbon dioxide CO2. According to the literature, patients that suffer from panic disorder are likely to produce the panic symptoms when they inhale a single deep breath of CO2. One of the common biological theories of the CO2 responsivity theory proposed by Klein (1993), posited that PD patients are more likely to experience a false alarm due to the increased sensitivity of their chemical chemoreceptors, resulting in dyspnea and elevated heart rate. Ziemann et al (2009), found during preclinical investigations that an acid –sensing ion channel in the amygdala has been identified as playing a key role as a vital chemosensor for hypercapnia eliciting fear responses. Administration of CO2 leads to a “complex brain fear network including the amygdala, the hippocampus, and the medial prefrontal cortex” (Gorman et al, 2000, 2001).

The diving response is a human adaptation that allows us to endure a lack of oxygen underwater. It is activated by apnea (breath-holding) and cold facial immersion (CFI) (water coming into contact with the face). During the diving response a number of physiological changes are known to occur in normal individuals including a significant decrease in heart rate and redistribution of blood to vital organs (Schagatay and Anderson, 1998; Ferretti and Costa, 2003). In many ways the physiological adaptations experienced during the diving response are the opposite of those triggered when an individual encounters a panic attack and hence it may be useful in treating panic sufferers.

This study aimed to examine the immediate effects of cold facial immersion on physiological and psychological panic symptoms between normal and panic participants. Thirty two participants undertook a series of challenge provocation tests to assist in better understanding the pathophysiology of panic.

A bradycardiac response was observed in both groups, and the PD group had a significant decrease in anxiety symptoms and panic cognitions following the CFI task when compared to the normal group. Implications of the results may point to the CFI task being an adequate tool in treating anxiety symptoms.

Children who are better adapted to school have higher academic success and higher self-esteem, have better peer relationships, and are less likely to drop-out of the school. This study aims to identify (i) the strength of the association between parenting behaviors (parental warmth and punishment; academic, language, and material stimulation to children) and school adaptation (ii) the roles of child’s socio-behavioral and cognitive development in this association; (iii) the preventive factors for families and school counsellors. The data were retrieved from the participants of the Study of Early Childhood Developmental Ecologies in Turkey (ECDET)- a 5-year longitudinal study with a nationally representative sample. Sample comprised 6 years old children and their mothers (N=655). Results suggest that parenting behaviors account for a significant portion of variance in school adaptation. After the proportion of variance explained by parenting behaviors is controlled, children’s socio- behavioral and cognitive development still remain as significant predictors of school adaptation. More learning materials available to the child, less punishment of the parents; less externalizing behaviors of children and adaptive social behavior; and better language development indicates a healthy school adaptation.

Τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες έχει υπάρξει μεγάλο ενδιαφέρον από επαγγελματίες υγείας και από παιδαγωγούς για την ενίσχυση της κοινωνικής-συναισθηματικής ανάπτυξης των παιδιών στο χώρο του σχολείου, μέσα από προγράμματα ατομικών και κοινωνικών δεξιοτήτων.

Η παρούσα μελέτη παρουσιάζει τα αποτελέσματα της αξιολόγησης από γονείς, του «Βήματα για τη ζωή», ενός ελληνικού ετήσιου σχολικού προγράμματος Προαγωγής Ψυχικής Υγείας για μαθητές νηπιαγωγείου ηλικίας 4-6 ετών. Το πρόγραμμα επιδιώκει βελτίωση της κοινωνικής-συ- ναισθηματικής επάρκειας των παιδιών χρησιμοποιώντας κατάλληλες στρατηγικές και εξασφα- λίζοντας τη συμμετοχή των γονέων με την ενεργή εμπλοκή τους. Στην έρευνα συμμετείχαν 798 μαθητές νηπιαγωγείων από τους οποίους 414 αποτέλεσαν την πειραματική ομάδα, ενώ 384 παιδιά, επιλεγμένα με κοινωνικο-οικονομικά κριτήρια ανάλογα με εκείνα της πειραματικής ομάδας, σχημάτισαν την ομάδα ελέγχου.

Background: The global burden of conduct disorder is considerable, especially in males (1). Attachment to God is the self-God relations which reflect the aspects of personal imagery of God (2). Individual who have secure attachment to their parents, have also secure attachment to their God. On the other hand, there is a compensatory mechanism for the insecure attachment; so that, God attachment can compensate insecure human attachments (3). The purpose of this study was to exploring attachment to God in Iranian adolescents with conduct disorder.

method: It was aqualitative directed content analysis study. Based on attachment theory, we conducted in-depth interviews with 9 male adolescents aged 12 to 17 years, who had conduct disorder with or without substance use at the reformatory in Tehran. All tape-recorded data was fully transcribed, and the contents were analyzed.

Results: Five main themes were extracted from the interviews: perception of self-God relations, continuity in attachment to God, God as a secure base and haven of safety, maintaining proximity to God, and attachment pattern to God.The findings showed the continuity of self-God relations problems, and avoidant attachment pattern over the life of adolescents with conduct disorder.

Conclusion: Sinceattachment toGod can compensate insecure human attachments, we need to develop appropriate interventions to improve attachment to God in adolescents with conduct disorder.

Background: Spiritual psychotherapy has been conceptualized in the context of the love and belief, as principles of existence(1). Since transcendent and spiritual relations and

attachments can compensate past impaired object attachments(2, 3), we designed a spiritual psychotherapy package based on object-relations psychoanalysis approach for adolescents with conduct disorder.

method: According toavoidant attachment pattern among adolescents with conduct disorder, we designed thespiritual psychotherapy package in focused sessions with clinicians. Also, this package was designed on the basis of in-depth interviews as well as theoretical conceptualization and literature reviews. Itwas a 10-session, group-based, manual-guided program based on attachment theory within object-relations psychoanalysis approach, which was designed for adolescents with conduct disorder.

Results: Forreducing conduct disorder symptoms, especially, aggressive behaviors,and improving attachment to God, the package wasprovidedin10 sessions (during 5 weeks) byapplying spiritual interventions including spiritual awareness, praying, image of God, reading and contemplation of sacred scripture, and application of forgiveness. Several techniques were used such as spiritual guided imagery, interpretation, confrontation, role playing and catharsis.

Conclusion:To examine the effectiveness of the package, we need to conduct a clinical trial.

Background: Conduct disorder is characterized with aggressive behaviors, deceitfulness or theft, destruction of property and serious violations of rules, prior to age 18 years(1). As attachment theory derived from object relations theory,they provide an integrative model to understand the problems of conduct disorder, and propose that child–caregiver relationships develop the internal working models of self and others(2, 3). The aim of this study was to exploringthe problems of object relations and attachment in Iranian adolescents with conduct disorder.

method: The present study was a qualitative directed content analysis research. The in-depth interviewswereconducted with 9 male adolescents aged 12 to 17 years, who had conduct disorderwith or without substance use disorderat the reformatory in Tehran. All taperecorded data was fully transcribed, and the contents were analyzed based on attachment theory.

Results: Therelations with different objects including mother, father, brother, sister, relative, friend, peer, teacher, other school members, colleague and employer were analyzed underthe six concepts ofcontinuity in object attachment, availability, accessibility, secure base and safe haven, maintaining proximity, and attachment pattern. The findings showed the continuity of object relations problems,and avoidant attachment figureover the life ofadolescents with conduct disorder.

Conclusion: Iranian adolescents with conduct disorder hadproblems of object relations and attachment, which need to designing special intervention programs.

Aim: The aim of the study was to profile cognitive deficits using Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination – Malayalam (ACE-M) as a screen and to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the same.

method: Seventy four drug naïve patients diagnosed to have brain tumors were assessed for cognitive functioning using ACE-M prior to surgery

Results: Patients with high-grade intra axial tumors showed a significant association on Registration (0.04), Recall (0.01), and Visuospatial functioning (0.02). Gender showed an association between Registration (0.02) and Verbal fluency (0.02) with females performing better, while education was significantly associated with Remote Memory (0.00) with college educated sample performing better. Significance was assumed at p<0.05. In extra axial tumors, laterality had a single association with recall (0.02). Males showed significant cognitive decline on Attention (0.02), Recall (0.05), Naming (0.02) and Language functions (0.01). College educated group performed better on Registration (0.01), Recall (0.09), Naming (0.00) and Visuo-spatial functioning (0.00)

The area under the ROC curve was estimated to be 0.75, which indicates fairly good discriminative ability with a cut off of 71/100 ; sensitivity at 77.3 and specificity fixed at 67.

Suicide is an action taken by an individual that leads to the death of the person. The act is willful, self-destructive, life threatening and evokes intense emotions in the people surrounding the individual. Each suicide differs from the next, with regard to the intentions of the victim and risk factors present at the time of death. Risk factors may include age, gender, cultural affiliation, substance abuse, pain, physical- or mental illness. Teenagers may also act impulsively or not consider the consequences of their actions. No study on suicide risk in teenagers has been done before in South Africa. Hence, mental health professionals have difficulty identifying a teenager at risk.

A qualitative study in the form of a psychological autopsy was conducted, mainly to identify risk factors. Suicide victims were identified through consulting the death register at the local mortuary. Relatives and friends of the victims were invited to participate. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Special care was taken to ensure that participants were not re-traumatized. Through analysis themes were identified which included risk factors related to family relationships, mental discomfort, substance abuse, limited expectations of the future.

Εξειδικεύοντας τις γενικές αυτές αρχές, ο εργασιακός χώρος δεν αποτελεί ένα περιβάλλον απο- κλειστικά τεχνολογικό, αλλά αποτελεί ταυτόχρονα ένα πλαίσιο μέσα στο οποίο πραγματώ-νεται σημαντικό μέρος της ατομικής και κοινωνικής ύπαρξης των εργαζομένων. Κατ’ επέκταση, η σύγχρονη Αρχιτεκτονική ενστερνίζεται το στοιχείο της ενσυναίσθησης, σύμφωνα με το οποίο οι ψυχολογικές ανάγκες του ανθρώπου βρίσκονται στο επίκεντρο του αρχιτεκτονικού σχεδιασμού και το άτομο δεν αντιμετωπίζεται απλά σαν μια «μηχανή παραγωγής». Ως άμεσο αποτέλεσμα της στρατηγικής αυτής είναι η βελτίωση της διάθεσης του ατόμου στο χώρο εργασίας του, αλλά και η αύξηση της παραγωγικότητάς του.

ΣΚΟΠΟΣ: Σκοπός της συγκεκριμένης εισήγησης είναι ο «εννοιακός» σχεδιασμός ενός χώρου εργασίας, ο οποίος θα πληροί τις προϋποθέσεις για τη μεγιστοποίηση της παραγωγικότητας του ατόμου, η οποία θα προκύπτει από τον σεβασμό και την ανάλυση των ψυχολογικών αναγκών του.

ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ: Θα επιχειρηθεί από τον εισηγητή μια ιστορική και κριτική επισκόπηση των ερευ-νών που έχουν πραγματοποιηθεί σχετικά με τη σχέση του χώρου εργασίας και της παραγωγι-κότητας.

ΠΡΟΣΔΟΚΩΜΕΝΑ ΑΠΟΤΕΛΕΣΜΑΤΑ: Προσδιορίζοντας, λοιπόν, τα επιμέρους στοιχεία με θετική επίδραση στην παραγωγικότητα κάθε εργαζομένου, μπορεί να δημιουργηθεί και να προ-ταθεί ένα σχεδιαστικό πρότυπο του εργασιακού χώρου και στη συνέχεια να εξετασθεί κατά πόσο είναι εφικτό να ενσωματωθεί και να υιοθετηθεί αυτό το μοντέλο χώρου εργασίας στα ελληνικά εργασιακά δεδομένα.

introduction and Aims: Narcissism is an important personality trait that has an impact on the individuals’ attitudes and behavior. There is research evidence suggesting that although narcissists have preferences for all types of relationships, among one-night stands, booty calls, friends with benefits, and serious romantic relationships, they have difficulties maintaining committed relationships. Research so far has focused on the narcissists’ characteristics and behavior, and examined gender differences in narcissism in various life aspects such as courtship violence or leadership The present study explored gender differences of narcissism in the context of intimate relationships. The hypotheses of the study were that males would be higher in narcissism compared to females, that narcissism would be related with satisfaction in intimate relationships, and that there would be also differences among students from different majors of studies.

method: A convenient sample of ninety college students participated in the study, filling in questionnaires of narcissism, attitudes on love and love style. Results/Results indicated no significant differences among genders, but significant relationship was suggested between narcissism and love style.

Discussion: Although the main hypothesis about the relationship between narcissism and love style was confirmed, there is a need for future studies to test differences of narcissism in different majors of studies. Further studies on narcissism and love style within larger samples could raise awareness that can facilitate better ways of relating to narcissistic partners.

introduction: Difficulties andneeds assessment is recognized to be a key element of mental health care.Patients tend to present heterogeneous profiles of difficulties and needs. There is no consensus about how patients’ difficulties and needs are organized around specific or general dimensions.

Aims: This study investigates both general and specific dimensions of patients’ selfassessment of difficulties and needs for care.

method: Patients’ difficulties and needs were assessed with the DNST, an 18-domain self-report scale. 471 patients’ profiles were analysed through bi-factor exploratory factor analysis.

Results: A four-factor model includingone general and three specific factors of difficulties was most adequate. Specific factors were: (i) ‘finances & administrative tasks’, (ii) ‘Transports’ and (iii) ‘Family & children’. Moreover, patients’ needs were also best represented by one general and three specific factors: (i) ‘finances’; (ii) ‘transports’ and ‘public places’; (iii) ‘family’, ‘children’ and ‘intimate relationships’.

Discussion: As revealed by the general dimension,patients expressing urgent difficulties or needs in some domains are also more susceptible to report urgent difficulties and needs in several other domains. They also presentspecific needs, which are organized in three dimensions: administration, functional disability and interpersonal relationships. These dimensions are related to the four types of social support described in the literature.TEEn AgER ’s TAnTRu ms (A CAsE sTuDY ) oR Al PREsEn TATionDR ARPiTA sABATh ,PRINCIPAL, DHENKANAL MAHILA MAHAVIDYALAYA, DHEN KANAL,AFFILITED TO UTKAL UNIVERSITY, ODISHA, INDIA, (MRS) PROF.

introduction: This paper presents recent research exploring factors associated with criminal firesetting in Indigenous communities in Australia. It considers the utility of the Multi-Trajectory Theory of Adult Firesetting (M-TAFF) for this group of firesetters, and build on the five trajectories developed to explain the origins and motivations for criminal firesetting behaviour. As the current theories of aetiology and motivation for criminal firesetting lack any reference to cultural traditions and historical fire use practices, this research considers the development of a specific trajectory to understand Australian Indigenous firesetting, and contributes to the development of culturally sensitive clinical treatment targeting relevant criminogenic factors.method: Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander offenders convicted of arson offences, and Elders from several Australian Indigenous communities contributed to this study. Semistructured interviews were conducted with both groups to identify those socio-demographic and psychological factors contributing to the development of criminal firesetting behaviour.Results: An analysis of the psychological, environmental and cultural factors contributing to criminal firesetting in Australian Indigenous communities will be presented. Treatment components developed to respond to these factors will be identified.Discussion: Clinical treatment of Indigenous arsonists which is cognisant of culture and sensitive to historical traditions will be discussed, and responsivity issues highlighted.

ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΗ: Η παρούσα εισήγηση αναφέρεται στις μαθησιακές δυσκολίες που αντιμετωπίζουν οι μαθητές στα μαθηματικά της Δευτεροβάθμιας Εκπαίδευσης. Κατά τους Resnick, Cauzinille- Marmeche & Mathieu (1995), η ίδια η φύση των μαθηματικών εννοιών είναι δύσκολη και αυτό αντικατοπτρίζεται τόσο στον τρόπο με τον οποίο εξελίχτηκαν ιστορικά όσο και στον αυστηρό τρόπο που δομήθηκαν. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, τα μαθηματικά αφορούν αφηρημένες μορφές γνώσης σε μεγαλύτερο βαθμό από άλλους τομείς μελέτης. Δεύτερον, η μαθηματική γνώση συνδέεται συχνά με μια εξειδικευμένη τυπική γλώσσα που επιβάλλει περιορισμούς στη σύνταξη και τη σημασιολογία. Τρίτον, η τυπική γλώσσα των Μαθηματικών εκφράζει ένα παιχνίδι εναλλαγής με-ταξύ σημαίνοντος και σημαινόμενου, λειτουργώντας ταυτόχρονα ως όργανο και ως αντικείμενο.

ΣΚΟΠΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΕΡΕΥΝΗΤΙΚΑ ΕΡΩΤΗΜΑΤΑ: Στόχος της εισήγησης είναι να καταδείξει πως οι μαθησιακές δυσκολίες που εμφανίζουν οι μαθητές στα μαθηματικά δεν είναι μόνο θέμα υπο- κειμενικής ικανότητας.

ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ: Η ερευνητική στρατηγική που θα χρησιμοποιηθεί βασίζεται στη βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση, στη συγκριτική καταγραφή των μαθησιακών δυσκολιών που συνδέονται με τη διδα- σκαλία των μαθηματικών και των διδακτικών μεθόδων που ακολουθούνται.

ΑΠΟΤΕΛΕΣΜΑΤΑ: Κατ’ επέκταση, η δυσκολία σε μια μαθηματική έννοια αποτελείται από συνι- στώσες που δεν έχουν να κάνουν με το υποκείμενο που θέλει ή πρέπει να μάθει την έννοια, αλλά από το αντικείμενο που τη δημιούργησε καθώς κι από ένα σύνολο εξωγενών παραγόντων, που επιβαρύνουν συνεπακόλουθα εκτός από την πνευματική και την ψυχική ανά-πτυξη του μαθητή. «Το κλειδί για την επιτυχημένη στροφή προς την εκπαιδευτική αντιμετώπιση δεν είναι η ύπαρξη της εκπαιδευτικής έρευνας, αλλά η διάχυση των αποτελεσμάτων της στους εκπαιδευτικούς και η αλλαγή των αντιλήψεων και καθημερινών διδακτικών πρακτικών τους.» (Παντελιάδου & Μπότσας, 2003).

Εισαγωγή και Στόχοι: Σύγχρονες μελέτες υποδεικνύουν ότι οι θερμές και οι ψυχρές εκτελε- στικές λειτουργίες (EΛ) εμπλέκονται στη διασπαστική και επιθετική συμπεριφορά των παιδιών, ωστόσο, ο ρόλος των θερμών EΛ είναι σχετικά παραμελημένος. Επιπλέον, οι λίγες μελέτες που εξέτασαν τη σχέση μεταξύ EΛ και επιθετικότητας δεν έλαβαν υπόψη τις διαφορετικές λειτουρ- γίες και μορφές της επιθετικότητας. Η παρούσα μελέτη, εξέτασε τον προβλεπτικό ρόλο των θερμών και ψυχρών EΛ στην επιθετικότητα, διαφοροποιώντας μεταξύ της λειτουργίας και της μορφής επιθετικότητας.

Μέθοδος: Εκατόν πέντε τυπικά αναπτυσσόμενα παιδιά (3-6 ετών) ολοκλήρωσαν τρια τεστ μέτρησης ψυχρών EΛ (εργαζόμενη μνήμη, αναστολή, και σχεδιασμό), και δύο τεστ θερμών ΕΛ (συναισθηματική λήψη αποφάσεων και δυνατότητα καθυστέρησης ικανοποίησης). Ελήφθησαν επίσης μετρήσεις επιθετικής και θετικής κοινωνικής συμπεριφοράς.

Αποτελέσματα: Οι ψυχρές, αλλά όχι οι θερμές ΕΛ, σχετίζονται σημαντικά με την επιθετικό-τητα. Υπήρχαν όμως λεπτές διαφορές ως προς τη λειτουργία και τη μορφή της επιθετικότητας για επιμέρους δείκτες. Η αναστολή προέβλεψε αρνητικά την αντιδραστική και ενεργητική σωμα- τική επιθετικότητα και τη δυναμική σχεσιακή επιθετικότητα, ενώ η εργαζόμενη μνήμη προέβλεψε θετικά τη δυναμική σχεσιακή επιθετικότητα. Επιπλέον, η θετική κοινωνική συμπεριφορά συντό-νισε τη σχέση ανάμεσα στην εργαζόμενη μνήμη και την αντιδραστική σχεσιακή επιθετικότητα.

Συζήτηση: Τα ευρήματα αυτά υποδηλώνουν ότι οι ψυχρές EF είναι ένας κεντρικός παράγο-ντας πρόβλεψης της επιθετικότητας στην πρώιμη παιδική ηλικία και τονίζουν την ανάγκη να εξεταστεί η λειτουργία και η μορφή της επίθετικότητας. Η παρουσίαση θα συζητήσει τα αποτε-λέσματα αυτά σε σχέση με τα εξελικτικά στάδια του δείγματος.

Η εκπαίδευση των μαθητών με ειδικές εκπαιδευτικές ανάγκες και αναπηρίες δεν είναι μια στατική διαδικασία. Σήμερα, μετά από την διακήρυξη της Σαλαμάνκα (1994), η παιδαγωγική συ- ζήτηση έχει μετατοπιστεί από την πρόταση της ενσωμάτωσης (mainstreaming) και της ένταξης (integration) σε αυτήν της συνεκπαίδευσης (inclusion) των μαθητών με και χωρίς ειδικές εκπαι-

δευτικές ανάγκες σε «ένα σχολείο για όλους» όπως αναφέρεται στη Χάρτα του Λουξεμβούργου (1996) (Watkins 2003).

Ο σκοπός της έρευνας είναι η καταγραφή των απόψεων σχετικά με την ένταξη μαθητών με ειδικές ανάγκες στο γενικό σχολείο. Είναι αξιοσημείωτο ότι οι θέσεις ποικίλλουν σχετικά με το εάν είναι δυνατή ή όχι η ενσωμάτωση των μαθητών με ειδικές ανάγκες στο γενικό σχολείο. Επίσης, είναι ενδιαφέρουσες οι προτάσεις που διατυπώνονται, οι οποίες εάν υλοποιηθούν θα είναι εφικτό να δημιουργηθεί «ένα σχολείο για όλους». Σημαντικό κομμάτι της έρευνας αφορά στη διερεύνηση της ψυχολογίας των παιδιών με ειδικές ανάγκες και των συμμαθητών τους. Εάν η συνύπαρξη παιδιών με ειδικές και χωρίς ειδικές ανάγκες επηρεάζει θετικά ή αρνητικά την ψυχολογία των παιδιών.

Πολλοί παράγοντες επηρεάζουν την επιτυχή ενσωμάτωση των παιδιών με ειδικές ανάγκες στο γενικό σχολείο. Η στάση των εκπαιδευτικών, η εκπαίδευσή τους, τα εκπαιδευτικά μέσα και οι υλικές υποδομές είναι κάποιοι από αυτούς. Όμως η ψυχολογία των μαθητών διαδραματίζει πρωταγωνιστικό ρόλο στην ένταξη παιδιών με ειδικές ανάγκες στο γενικό σχολείο.

Η ΔΥΝΑΜΗ ΤΗΣ ΕΙΚΟΝΑΣ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΝΙΜΕΤΩΠΙΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΔΥΣΛΕΞΙΑΣ / ThE PoWER oFimAgE in TREATmEnT oF DYslEXiAΘ. Χριστοπούλου / T. Christopoulou, Εκπαιδευτικός / Teacher, Υπουργείο Παιδείας και Θρησκευμάτων / Ministry of education, Αμαλιάδα / Amaliada

Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία εξετάζει την αποτελεσματικότητα της συστηματικής εφαρ-μογής σύγχρονων διδακτικών μεθόδων που βασίζονται στη χρήση εικόνων, με σκοπό την πλήρη ανάπτυξη των ικανοτήτων και γενικά την πρόοδο παιδιών με δυσλεξία από την Α δημοτικού.

Χρησιμοποιώντας τη μέθοδο της παρατήρησης, κατά την πρακτική μου άσκηση σε γραφείο λογοθεραπείας, αναλύονται σε βάθος όλες οι πληροφορίες που πρέπει να γνωρίζει κάποιος για την εφαρμογή ενός εξατομικευμένου διδακτικού προγράμματος στηριγμένου στην εικονογρα-φημένη μέθοδο.

Τα ευρήματα που προκύπτουν οδηγούν στο γεγονός ότι η διδασκαλία με ειδικές μεθόδους, όπως η εικονογραφημένη, από την Α΄ κιόλας τάξη του δημοτικού σχολείου, διευκολύνει το δυσλεκτικό παιδί να αναπτύξει σε επαρκές επίπεδο τις δεξιότητες ανάγνωσης, γραφής και ορ-θογραφίας.

Είναι σημαντικό να τονιστεί πως η μη έγκαιρη διάγνωση και αντιμετώπιση των ειδικών μαθη-σιακών δυσκολιών έχει σαν αποτέλεσμα την διαιώνιση του προβλήματος στην εφηβεία, αλλά και στην υπόλοιπη ενήλικη ζωή τους. Η δυσλεξία και όλες οι ειδικές μαθησιακές δυσκολίες συνυπάρχουν με συναισθηματικά και κοινωνικά προβλήματα.

Τέλος, κρίνεται αναγκαία η ενσωμάτωση των εικόνων όχι μόνο ως παρουσία στον σχολικό χώρο, αλλά και ως καθημερινό εργαλείο δουλειάς και μάθησης. Η προσέγγιση της πρώτης ανά-γνωσης και γραφής με έναν εντελώς νέο και ευχάριστο τρόπο για τα παιδιά είναι βέβαιο πως δημιουργεί μια νέα μαθησιακή κατάσταση και αποτελεί κίνητρο για μια νέα προσπάθεια.

This bibliographical research is relevant to a wide area of knowledge , concerning the field of psychology and especially the clinical psychology. Also, psychopathological phenomena were presented and how these were perceived by the ancient Greeks . Finally, how the meaning of madness was considered inside the society , and what social role models and stereotypes were followed by the ancient Greeks, are subjects of this research.

Tragedies were used as mirrors to examine these perceptions. Many psychologists have searched psychological elements in ancient tragedies . Not only psychologists with international reputation like Freud , Lacan , Melanie Klain , but also Greek psychologists and philosophers such as Jacqueline de Romilly , Aristotle, Nietzsche. The opinions of all these great scientists are presented in this research.

This research is developed as follows : first of all there is a relevant theory part , which is separated in different sections .This theory part introduce us to a general thought about the correlation between psychology and ancient Greek tragedy . After the theory part there is the presentation of three Greek tragedies (Medea , Oresteia , Oedipous the King ) Followed by a conclusion with inferences-discussion , relevant to the main points that are distinguished in these particular tragedies .

This research could be a helpful tool to be used by psychology professionals to find out the meaning of madness in ancient Greek society. This also could be used in theatrical studies.

Στην εργασία αυτή η συγγραφέας επιχείρησε να εφαρμόσει την ομαδοσυνεργατική μέθοδο στη διδασκαλία των αρχαίων ελληνικών στην τάξη της Α΄Λυκείου στο σχολείο όπου εργαζόταν το πρώτο τρίμηνο του σχολικού έτους 2014-2015.

Μελέτησε τη διεθνή και ελληνική βιβλιογραφία σχετικά με την εναλλακτική αυτή μέθοδο δι-δασκαλίας και εφάρμοσε τις βασικές της αρχές στην πράξη,εξηγώντας τους λόγους που την οδήγησαν σε αυτήν την επιλογή.Επέλεξε συγκεκριμένη διδακτική ενότητα και έφτιαξε σχέδιο μαθήματος με βάση την παραδοσιακή διδασκαλία και το αντίστοιχο με βάση την ομαδοσυνερ- γατική διδασκαλία και εντόπισε τις βασικές διαφορές.Στη συνέχεια παρέθεσε τις δυσκολίες που συνάντησε κατά την οργάνωση της ομαδοσυνεργατικής διδασκαλίας.Διευκρινίστηκαν οι στόχοι της νέας μεθόδου ,ποια στοιχεία της διδασκαλίας άλλαξαν σε σχέση με την παραδοσιακή διδα-σκαλία και δόθηκαν πληροφορίες για το το πώς οργανώθηκε ο χώρος και το διδακτικό υλικό, πώς δομήθηκαν οι ομάδες και ποιοι ρόλοι ανατέθηκαν στους μαθητές. Εντοπίστηκαν οι αλλαγές στο ρόλο του εκπαιδευτικού και διατυπώθηκαν τα συμπεράσματα στα οποία κατέληξε η εκπαι-δευτικός από την εφαρμογή της μεθόδου στην τάξη της. Στόχος της συγγραφέως ήταν με την εργασία αυτή να γίνει εμφανής η δυναμική της ομαδοσυνεργατικής διδασκαλίας στο σύγχρονο σχολείο κατά τη διδασκαλία ενός τόσο σύνθετου και δύσκολου διδακτικού αντικειμένου, όπως τα αρχαία ελληνικά από το πρωτότυπο, και να διαπιστωθεί κάτω από ποιες προϋποθέσεις είναι δυνατόν να εφαρμοστεί η καινοτομία αυτή στην ελληνική εκπαίδευση.

ΝΟΣΟΚΟΜΕΙΑΚΗ ΕΚΠΑΙΔΕΥΣΗ / ChilDREn’s EDuCATion in hosPiTAlΠαλασίδου Αικατερίνη, Εκπαιδευτικός ΠΕ70 / Palasidou Aikaterini, Teacher of Primary Education

Η εκπαίδευση είναι ένας πολυπαραγοντικός και ποικιλόμορφος οργανισμός, που αναπτύσσε-

ται συνεχώς και επηρεάζεται από τα καθημερινά τεκταινόμενα. Μία από τις μορφές που έχει η εκπαίδευση είναι και αυτή της νοσοκομειακής εκπαίδευσης, που αναπτύσσεται στην παρούσα εργασία. Ο ορισμός της νοσοκομειακής εκπαίδευσης, σύμφωνα με τον Πατσάλη (2013) είναι: «Η παρεχόμενη προσχολική και σχολική εκπαίδευση (πρωτοβάθμια και δευτεροβάθμια) από τα λειτουργούντα εκπαιδευτικά ιδρύματα στα διάφορα νοσοκομεία της χώρας, σε παιδιά-μαθητές που βρίσκονται σε αυτά για νοσηλεία.».

Ιστορική αναδρομή: Είναι σαφές ότι ένα παιδί που νοσηλεύεται απομακρύνεται από το σχο-λικό του περιβάλλον, διακόπτεται η σχολική του πορεία και επιβαρύνεται η ψυχική του υγεία. Συνεπώς για την κάλυψη των σχολικών του αναγκών, προτάθηκε το 1987 από την Ψυχολογική Παιδιατρική προς τον Υφυπουργό Εθνικής Παιδείας και θρησκευμάτων η λειτουργία σχολικού προγράμματος στο νοσοκομείο. Το Υπουργείο, τότε, άμεσα ανταποκρίθηκε σε αυτή την έκκληση για την κάλυψη των αναγκών των παιδιών – ασθενών, προτείνοντας τη λειτουργία του συγκε- κριμένου προγράμματος, έχοντας ως βάση το γεγονός πως όλα τα παιδιά έχουν το δικαίωμα να συνεχίσουν την εκπαίδευσή τους, ενώ είναι άρρωστα και νοσηλεύονται.

Νομική κατοχύρωση: Η ανάγκη ύπαρξης ενός τέτοιου προγράμματος υπαγορεύεται από τη Σύμβαση για τα Δικαιώματα του Παιδιού στην Ελλάδα (Ν.2101/92), όπου αναφέρει ότι τα παι- διά έχουν δικαίωμα για συνεχή μάθηση, ακόμα και αν βρίσκονται στο νοσοκομείο. Επίσης από τη Διεθνή Σύμβαση για τα Δικαιώματα του Παιδιού. Επιπρόσθετα από το άρθρο 7 του EACH-Χάρτη (European Association for Children in Hospital - αποτελεί μία οργάνωση που δυστυχώς η Ελ- λάδα δεν αποτελεί μέλος της) και από τον HOPE-Χάρτη (Hospital Organisation of Pedagogues in Europe – δυστυχώς δεν αποτελεί μέλος η Ελλάδα).

Το επίπεδο (από κακό έως άριστο) του χαρακτήρα, της συμπεριφοράς, του ήθους και της γνώ-σης (για ένα κοινωνικό άνθρωπο) προσδιορίζεται σημαντικά από τις ανεξάρτητες μεταβλητές: α) αγωγή – παιδεία – εκπαίδευση, β) περιβάλλον (φυσικό ή/και κοινωνικό), γ) ο ίδιος ο παιδα-γωγούμενος (από άποψη κληρονομικών ιδιοτήτων ή γενετικών προσδιοριστικών παραγόντων). Οι παράγοντες του περιβάλλοντος (φυσικού – κοινωνικού – οικογενειακού – σχολικού) προσ-διορίζουν, έως ένα βαθμό, την αποδοχή από τον παιδαγωγούμενο των προϊόντων της αγωγής και της παιδείας, αλλά, ταυτοχρόνως, επιδρούν πάνω στις βιολογικές καταβολές του ατόμου.

Κοινωνικο-οικονομική πανεπιστημιακή έρευνα, που διενεργήσαμε, τα έτη 2010-2013, στους νομούς Θεσσαλονίκης, Πιερίας, Κιλκίς και Χαλκιδικής (Κεντρική Μακεδονία), επιχειρεί να ανα- λύσει και να αποδείξει την ύπαρξη ή όχι, μικρής ή μεγάλης, συσχέτισης μεταξύ αφενός των διάφορων επιπέδων μόρφωσης (Χ1) και του οικογενειακού εισοδήματος (Χ2) των γονέων (και γενικότερα του οικογενειακού περιβάλλοντος) και αφετέρου της αντίστοιχης επίδοσης των παι- διών της οικογένειας (Υ), τόσο κατά τη βαθμολογία τους στην τελευταία τάξη του Λυκείου όσο και κατά τις εισαγωγικές εξετάσεις στα Α.Ε.Ι. της χώρας, για τα δύο τελευταία ακαδημαϊκά έτη. Από την έρευνα προέκυψε, ότι, πράγματι, βάσει των δεδομένων του επιλεγέντος δείγματος, υπάρχει στατιστική σημαντική διαφορά (άρα συσχέτιση) μεταξύ της επίδοσης των μαθητών / υποψηφίων φοιτητών (Υ) και των δύο άλλων ανεξάρτητων μεταβλητών Χ1 και Χ2.Λέξεις - κλειδιά: Κοινωνικό περιβάλλον, εκπαίδευση, μαθησιακή απόδοση, εκπαιδευόμενος, επίδοση.

This presentation will be concerned with theoretical and clinical implications of spoken language within the contest of the therapeutic (transference) situatation. Structural and dynamical characteristics of spoken logos (its semiotic, semantic and prosodic functions will be analysed within the framework of the modern critical psychoanalysis and actual theories of the orality. In the hermeneutical background of this analysis will be the (technical and theoretical) problem of dealing with the primitive mental states. This states are unmentalized, unsimbolized and cognitively unreachable.

In this work we will present our therapeutic experiences and theoretical considerations thatare concerned with this (we believe) important topic. It is our belief that it could be of interest to all kinds of professionals that are dealing with the trauma and post-traumatic states, and (to use well known expression of Betty Joseph) with the patients who are difficult to reach.

Key words: Speech, language, primitive mental states.

Ενώ έχουν δημοσιευτεί πολλές έρευνες σχετικά με την επίδραση του διαζυγίου στα παιδιά και τις μητέρες, πολύ λίγο έχει μελετηθεί η ποιότητα ζωής και οι ψυχολογικές συνέπειες του χωρισμού στον πατέρα, που εγκαταλείπει το σπίτι. Σε αυτό έρχεται να προστεθεί και η πάγια δικαστική τακτική στην Ελλάδα, κατά την οποία, εφόσον υπάρχει αντιδικία, σε συντριπτικό ποσο- στό η επιμέλεια δίνεται στη μητέρα και ορίζεται απλή επικοινωνία του παιδιού ή των παιδιών με τον πατέρα. Δεδομένης της ωρίμανσης των συνθηκών στην Ελλάδα για την εφαρμογή της συ- νεπιμέλειας στα πλαίσια της διαφυλικής ισότητας και της ποιότητας ζωής των παιδιών, διεξήχθη ποσοτική έρευνα για να διερευνηθούν οι στάσεις ανδρών και γυναικών σχετικά με το διαζύγιο και το ρόλο του πατέρα μετά από αυτό.

Η έρευνα διεξήχθη κατά το χρονικό διάστημα Δεκέμβριος-Ιανουάριος 2015 με τη χορήγηση ημιδομημένου ερωτηματολογίου σε δείγμα 1349 ατόμων (29% ήταν άνδρες και 71% γυναίκες), διαφόρων ηλικιών, μορφωτικού επιπέδου, οικογενειακής κατάστασης και κοινωνικο-οικονομι- κού υποβάθρου. Οι απαντήσεις ανάμεσα στα δύο φύλα αναλύθηκαν στατιστικά μέσω ελέγχων Χ2 σε επίπεδο σημαντικότητας 0,05, προκειμένου να εντοπιστούν στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφο- ροποιήσεις ανάμεσα σε άνδρες και γυναίκες. Τα ευρήματα της έρευνας είναι ιδιαίτερα ενδιαφέ- ροντα και καταδεικνύουν σημαντικές διαφορές στις απόψεις μεταξύ ανδρών και γυναικών σε ορισμένες διαστάσεις του ζητήματος της συνεπιμέλειας.

Στην παρούσα εργασία ερευνάται το γονεϊκό στιλ και κατά πόσο αυτό επηρεάζει της αυτοε- κτίμηση των νέων. Ουσιαστικά, μέσω της συγκεκριμένης έρευνας μελετώνται τρία είδη γονεϊκού στιλ: οι υποστηρικτικοί (authoritative) , οι αυταρχικοί (authoritarian) και οι επιτρεπτικοί γονείς (permissive). Καθώς και η αυτοεκτίμηση διακρίνεται στην εργασιακή αυτοεκτίμηση, στη κοινω-

νική, στην οικογενειακή, στην αυτοεκτίμηση εξωτερικής εμφάνισης και στην ενδοπροσωπική. Είναι γνωστό πως η μητέρα διαδραματίζει τον πρωταρχικό ρόλο μέσα στην οικογένεια. Για αυτό το λόγο στην έρευνα μας θα μελετήσουμε την στάση του πατέρα. Συγκεκριμένα, εστιάσαμε στον ρόλο του πατέρα μέσα στην οικογένεια και πως, βάση της στάσης του, διαμορφώνεται η αυτοεκτίμηση των παιδιών ανά φύλο. Το δείγμα αποτελείται από ογδόντα άτομα και καλύπτει τους νομούς Αττικής, Μακεδονίας, Θεσσαλίας και Βορείου Αιγαίου. Το ηλικιακό εύρος είναι από δεκαοχτώ έως είκοσι οκτώ ετών. Για τη διεξαγωγή της έρευνας σχεδιάστηκε ερωτηματολόγιο με τρεις θεματικούς άξονες: δημογραφικά στοιχεία, ερωτήσεις για το γονεϊκό και ερωτήσεις για την αυτοεκτίμηση. Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας συμφωνούν απόλυτα με τις ήδη υπάρχουσες διε- θνής έρευνες και συγκεκριμένα με της έρευνα της Βραζιλίας. Το γονεϊκό στιλ που επικρατεί στην Ελλάδα είναι της υποστηρικτικής οικογένειας και επηρεάζεται άμεσα από το μορφωτικό επίπεδο των γονιών. Όσον αφορά τους υποστηρικτικούς γονείς υπάρχει συσχέτιση και με τα πέντε είδη αυτοεκτίμησης ενώ οι αυταρχικοί γονείς εμφανίζουν συνάφεια μεταξύ της εργασιακής καθώς και της οικογενειακής αυτοεκτίμησης άλλα είναι αρνητικής συσχέτισης. Τέλος, στους επιτρεπτι- κούς γονείς παρατηρείται συσχέτιση αυτού του γονεϊκού στιλ με την κοινωνική αυτοεκτίμηση, την οικογενειακή και την ενδοπροσωπική αυτοεκτίμηση.

Nurses were found facing several challenges in nursing people with mental illness, such as patients are more acute, demanding, and aggressive. These challenges may impact their role and practice. There is a little is known about the attitude of nurses toward people with mental illness. Aim: This study aims at investigating the nurses’ attitude towards people with mental illness and the socio-demographic factors associated with attitude. method: The data were collected from 225 registered nurses using the Community Attitude towards Mental illness (CAMI) scale. The data were analysed by SPSS 20 software. Results: the results revealed that nurse’s attitude towards people with mental illness were generally positive. Nurses’ positive attitudes were associated with age, years of experience, previous contact with people with mental illness and position. Conclusion: Positive nurses’ attitude toward people with mental illness is an important outcome indicator for the prospect to improvement with treatment and prospect of recovery. The understanding of such a phenomenon may also result in an increased possibility of provided care as well as recovery and a better life for people with mental illness. Several suggestions for mental health practice, nursing education and future research were discussed.Keywords: nurses, attitude, mental illness, CAMI, Saudi Arabia

Η χρήση του διαδικτύου τα τελευταία χρόνια έχει παρουσιάσει σημαντική αύξηση σε παγκό- σμιο επίπεδο και εκτιμάται ότι σήμερα ο αριθμός των χρηστών σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο ξεπερνάει τα 1,7 δις. άτομα. Στην Κύπρο, η χρήση του διαδικτύου έχει εξαπλωθεί τόσο στις αστικές της περιοχές όσο και στις αγροτικές της περιοχές, χωρίς κανένα περιορισμό πρόσβασης. Το διαδί- κτυο είναι ένα πολύ χρήσιμο εργαλείο. Χρησιμοποιείται για αγορές, επικοινωνία με συγγενείς και φίλους σε όλο τον κόσμο, εργασία, παιχνίδι, γνώση, πληροφόρηση αλλά και ψυχαγωγία. Όμως η κατάχρηση του διαδικτύου μπορεί να καταλήξει σε ένα μεγάλο πρόβλημα αντί για ωφέλεια. Υπάρχει μεγάλος προβληματισμός σχετικά με την υπερβολική χρήση του διαδικτύου και την πι- θανότητα αυτή να οδηγεί σε εθισμό. Ο διαδικτυακός εθισμός, νόσημα εξάρτησης της τελευταίας δεκαετίας, έχει αναγνωριστεί σε σημαντικό αριθμό εφήβων στις ανεπτυγμένες χώρες. Χαρακτη- ρίζεται από υπερβολική χρήση και εξαρτώμενη συμπεριφορά, η οποία επηρεάζει αρνητικά τη σωματική, ακαδημαϊκή και κοινωνική ζωή του χρήστη. Έρευνες, ελληνικές και διεθνείς που έχουν προσανατολιστεί στη μελέτη του, φανερώνουν ότι οι έφηβοι αποτελούν μια κοινωνική ομάδα που παρουσιάζεται ως «υψηλού κινδύνου». Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας είναι να διαπιστωθεί η έκταση και η ένταση του διαδικτυακού εθισμού σε μαθητές τρίτης λυκείου στην Κύπρο, καθώς επίσης να εντοπιστούν τυχόν διαφορές που υπάρχουν μεταξύ μαθητών αστικών και αγροτικών περιοχών. Για το λόγο αυτό, διεξήχθη ποσοτική έρευνα, με διαγνωστικό ερωτηματολόγιο σε 303 μαθητές. Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας έδειξαν ποσοστό εθισμού 9,6% στο σύνολο των ερωτηθέντων. Τα αποτελέσματα αυτά επιβεβαιώνουν τα αναμενόμενα αποτελέσματα, ότι δηλα- δή υπάρχει εθισμός στο διαδίκτυο στους μαθητές τρίτης λυκείου. Τα πορίσματα της ελληνικής και διεθνούς βιβλιογραφίας, προσφέρουν προτάσεις για πιθανούς τρόπους αντιμετώπισης και μέτρα πρόληψης μέσα στα πλαίσια της δημόσιας υγείας που απευθύνονται στο οικογενειακό περιβάλλον και σε κάθε εμπλεκόμενο φορέα.

Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice, 82(4), 427-447

Although the Movement toward Psychotherapy Integration is gaining momentum, theoretical polarization still prevails and prevents integration from maturing. This study strives for theoretical integration, shedding light on relations between two concepts from diametrically opposed therapies: The psychodynamic concept of transference and the cognitive concept of overgeneralization. Method: A qualitative metasynthetic study maps CCRT (Core Conflictual Relationship Themes) transference components (Luborsky, 1998), codes other meaning units and analyzes relationship between categories (Tutty, Rothery & Ginnell, 1996). These procedures apply to published transference case descriptions. Results:Thirty of the 33 case studies (about 90%) were shown to include overgeneralization thinking distortion. In all these cases, such overgeneralization concerned a central theme in the same category as Luborsky’s components of transference. The results show that overgeneralization thinking errors (cognitive therapy) are the current cognitive manifestation of the transference patterns (psychoanalytic therapy). This observation maps the complementary character of the concepts and thus takes an additional significant step forward towards the consolidation of a theoretical platform for integrative intervention.

Child neglect has less often been studied in population-based research compare to other forms of maltreatment such as physical abuse. The purpose of the current study is to further the integration of cumulative risk models with a secondary analysis from a population survey conducted in 2012 with mothers figures. More specifically, the present study included 1,158 Quebec mothers (French speaking province of Canada) living with a child aged between 6 months to 4 years. The regression analysis will highlight the unique contribution of various risk factors according to an ecological perspective (child, family and social factors) as well as their cumulative effect on parental child neglect defined as lack of supervision. Results will be discussed in terms of preventive strategy and support programs for parents of young children.Key words: population-based study, lack of supervision, child neglect, risk factors,cumulative risk, ecological model

Ο ύπνος αποτελεί αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της καθημερινότητας του ατόμου και βασικός πα-ράγοντας ευζωίας. Δυστυχώς, όμως, μία σημαντική μερίδα ανθρώπων, πολλοί εκ των οποίων φοιτητές και μαθητές, εμφανίζουν δυσλειτουργικές συνήθειες ύπνου με επιβλαβή αποτελέσματα για τη σωματική και την πνευματική υγεία. Πλήθος μελετών συνδέουν τη μειωμένη ακαδημαϊκή επίδοση με τον ανεπαρκή ύπνο και πολλές νευροαπεικονιστικές έρευνες σε συνθήκες υπνικής αποστέρησης παρουσιάζουν τη μειωμένη ενεργοποίηση του προμετωπιαίου φλοιού με συνακό- λουθη έκπτωση σε γνωστικά έργα ψυχοκινητικής εγρήγορσης και προσοχής. Η παρούσα έρευνα μελετά την ποιότητα ύπνου των μαθητών της Στρατιωτικής Σχολής Αξιωματικών Σωμάτων σε σχέση με πολίτες φοιτητές αντίστοιχων τμημάτων και αναζητά πιθανή συσχέτιση της ποιότητας του ύπνου με την υποκειμενική αντίληψη κόπωσης και με την επίδοση σε γνωστικά έργα προσο- χής και εγρήγορσης. Στην έρευνα έλαβε μέρος ένα σύνολο 60 συμμετεχόντων, εκ των οποίων 30 μαθητές της ΣΣΑΣ και 30 πολίτες φοιτητές. Οι συμμετέχοντες κλήθηκαν να συμπληρώσουν τον Ελληνικό Δείκτη Ποιότητας Ύπνου (gr-psqi), το Ερωτηματολόγιο Λειτουργικών Επιπτώσε- ων του Ύπνου (fosq), τη Δοκιμασία Οπτικο-χωρικής Ιχνηλάτησης και τη Δοκιμασία Επιλεκτικής Προσοχής 2 και 7 του Ruff. Η στατιστική ανάλυση των δεδομένων έδειξε ότι υπάρχει στατιστικά σημαντικότατη διαφορά (σε επίπεδο σημαντικότητας ρ< .001) ανάμεσα στις δυο ομάδες, με τους φοιτητές της ΣΣΑΣ να αντιμετωπίζουν προβλήματα διαταραγμένου ύπνου και οριακά σημαντική (ρ= .05) διαφορά στο αίσθημα κόπωσης, όπως αυτό γίνεται αντιληπτό από τις δυο ομάδες. Ωστόσο, στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές στα γνωστικά έργα δεν παρατηρήθηκαν. Αυτό ίσως να οφείλεται στο ότι δεν παρατηρήθηκε στατιστική συσχέτιση και συμμεταβολή στις μεταβλητές “ποιότητα ύπνου”, “υποκειμενική αντίληψη κόπωσης” και “γνωστική επίδοση σε έργα προσοχης και εγρήγορσης”. Τέλος, η έρευνα εξετάζεται συνολικά από μεθοδολογική σκοπιά και εγείρονται ερωτήματα για μελλοντικές προεκτάσεις.

Παρά τη γενικότερη απαγόρευση σε δημόσιους χώρους, ακόμη υπάρχει μια πιο ελαστική αντιμετώπιση στους ψυχιατρικούς ασθενείς. Στις Η.Π.Α. το 45% των τσιγάρων καπνίζεται από ψυχιατρικούς αρρώστους, ενώ το 70-80% των ψυχιατρικών ασθενών που νοσηλεύονται κα- πνίζουν. Στη συγκεκριμένη μελέτη διερευνήθηκε η διεθνής βιβλιογραφία μέσω των κυριότερων ιατρικών βάσεων δεδομένων (Medline, PsychInfo) και των βάσεων αναζήτησης του διαδικτύου από ανεξάρτητους ερευνητές, σε μια προσπάθεια καταγραφής και ταξινόμησης της επίδρασης της νικοτίνης στην συμπτωματολογία των ψυχικά πασχόντων. Προκύπτει διχογνωμία σχετικά με την φορά της συσχέτισης της νικοτίνης με κατάθλιψη, με αρνητική συμπτωματολογία στη σχιζο- φρένια και ελάττωση του άγχους σε αγχώδεις διαταραχές. Αναφέρεται μια προστατευτική δρά- ση στην Alzheimer’s Disease και θετική επίδραση στην προσοχή και στη νόσο του Parkinson, αλλά άλλοι ερευνητές παρατηρούν επιδείνωση γνωσιακών λειτουργιών. Με νέα φαρμακευτικά προϊόντα στην αγορά για την διακοπή του καπνίσματος, το ερώτημα αν πρέπει να στοχεύουμε σε μια πλήρη διακοπή του καπνίσματος ή να ενισχύουμε μια πιο «υγιεινή» λήψη νικοτίνης, εξα- τομικευμένη ανάλογα την ψυχική πάθηση και τον ασθενή παραμένει επίκαιρο.

Εισαγωγή: για την ψυχιατρική κοινότητα το αν ο όρος «ακούσια νοσηλεία» συμπεριλαμβάνει και την έννοια της «ακούσιας θεραπείας» αποτελεί ένα θεωρητικό προβληματισμό με μέγιστες πρακτικές προεκτάσεις. Τη στιγμή που κάποιοι θεωρούν ότι δεν υφίσταται νοσηλεία χωρίς θερα- πεία, άλλοι πιστεύουν στο δικαίωμα άρνησης στη θεραπεία ακόμη και του νομίμως ή νομοτύπως ακουσίως νοσηλευόμενου.

Σκοπός: να καταγράψουμε το τι γίνεται στην πράξη στο πλαίσιο της καθημερινής ψυχιατρικής πραγματικότητας.

Υλικό – Μέθοδος: κατεγράφησαν εκατό περιστατικά ακούσιας νοσηλείας σε τρία διαφο-ρετικά Ψυχιατρικά Τμήματα Εισαγωγών του Ψυχιατρικού Νοσοκομείου Αττικής – Δαφνί (κατά το έτος 2014) και το αν χορηγήθηκε ακουσίως φαρμακευτική αγωγή κατά την εισαγωγή τους σε αυτό.

Αποτελέσματα: σε όλες τις περιπτώσεις χορηγήθηκε φαρμακευτική αγωγή, παρά την αντί-θετη γνώμη των ίδιων των ασθενών (οι ασθενείς δεν επιθυμούσαν ούτε τη νοσηλεία, ούτε τη λήψη φαρμακευτικής αγωγής)

Συμπεράσματα: επιβάλλεται ο άμεσος καθορισμός της δυνατότητας ή της μη δυνατότητας χορήγησης ακούσιας φαρμακευτικής θεραπείας από τη μεριά του ψυχιάτρου στον ακουσίως νοσηλευόμενο ασθενή. Το ασαφές θεσμικό (ψυχιατρικό και νομικό) πλαίσιο από τη μία πλευρά γεννά ηθικά διλλήματα, που συνδέονται με την ουσιαστική υπεράσπιση των δικαιωμάτων των ψυχικά ασθενών και από την άλλη εκθέτει σε νομικούς κινδύνους τους θεράποντες, που υπο- χρεώνονται στη λήψη αποφάσεων, που δεν τους αναλογούν.

Εισαγωγή: η αποσπασματική υλοποίηση των διαδικασιών, που προβλέπονται στο πλαίσιο της Ψυχιατρικής Μεταρρύθμισης, οδήγησε – μεταξύ άλλων – στην εμφάνιση αδιέξοδων κατα-στάσεων στα Ψυχιατρικά Τμήματα Εισαγωγών, που συνδέονται με την παρατεταμένη νοσηλεία ασθενών, που υπό άλλες συνθήκες θα νοσηλεύονταν σε Τμήματα Χρονίων.

Σκοπός: να καταγράψουμε τις (διαγνωστικές) κατηγορίες ασθενών, που παραμένουν για με-γάλο χρονικό διάστημα σε ένα Ψ.Τ.Ε, δε λαμβάνουν εξιτήριο, αλλά και δε μεταφέρονται σε εξωνοσοκομειακή στεγαστική δομή.

Υλικό – Μέθοδος: έγινε καταγραφή των κατηγοριών των ασθενών με τα ανωτέρω αναφε- ρόμενα χαρακτηριστικά, που νοσηλεύτηκαν ή και νοσηλεύονται ακόμα στο 4ο Ψ.Τ.Ε. του Ψ.Ν.Α. Δαφνί τα έτη 2012-2014

Αποτελέσματα: παρατεταμένες νοσηλείες συνδέθηκαν με ασθενείς με διαταραχές συμπε-ριφοράς και ψυχωσιόμορφες εκδηλώσεις σε έδαφος νοητικής υστέρησης ή διαταραχών του αυτιστικού φάσματος, οργανικά ψυχοσύνδρομα, άνοια, με ασθενείς χωρίς οικογενειακό υπο-στηρικτικό περιβάλλον ή οι φροντιστές των οποίων είναι ανήμποροι ηλικιωμένοι ή άτομα με σοβαρή ψυχοπαθολογία, με ασθενείς των οποίων ο κίνδυνος εκδήλωσης αυτοκαταστροφικής ή ετεροκαταστροφικής συμπεριφοράς δεν υφίεται σε ικανοποιητικό βαθμό, με άστεγους, με ασθενείς του άρθρου 69 του Ποινικού Κώδικα, για τους οποίους υπάρχει στιγματισμός, αλλά και έντονες συναισθηματικές αντιδράσεις των οικείων τους.

Συμπεράσματα: η αποασυλοποίηση, όταν υλοποιείται χωρίς να έχει σχεδιαστεί και ΄΄στη-θεί΄΄ το απαραίτητο κοινοτικό ψυχιατρικό οικοδόμημα, χωρίς να έχουν ληφθεί τα κατάλληλα μέτρα για να αποκλειστεί προηγούμενα – μεταξύ άλλων - κάθε ενδεχόμενο μετακύλισης αυτού-σιου του βάρους των καταργούμενων ή καταργηθέντων Τμημάτων Χρονίων στα Ψυχιατρικά Τμήματα Εισαγωγών, από διαδικασία υποστήριξης κινδυνεύει να μετατραπεί σε προπύργιο της πλήρους κατάλυσης των δικαιωμάτων των ψυχικά ασθενών.

Εισαγωγή: το άρθρο 98 του νόμου 2071/92 αναφέρεται στη δυνατότητα χορήγησης αδειών στον ακούσια νοσηλευόμενο ψυχικά ασθενή.

Σκοπός: να ελεγχθεί ο βαθμός στον οποίο ακούσια νοσηλευόμενοι ασθενείς που πάσχουν

από ψύχωση εκμεταλλεύτηκαν τη χορήγηση άδειας προκειμένου να διακόψουν αυθαίρετα τη νοσηλεία τους ή/και την αγωγή τους.

Υλικό – Μέθοδος: κατεγράφησαν πενήντα περιπτώσεις ψυχωτικών ασθενών (38 ανδρών και 12 γυναικών), που έλαβαν άδεια κατά τη διάρκεια της νοσηλείας τους στο 4ο Ψ.Τ.Ε. του Ψ.Ν.Α. Δαφνί κατά το έτος 2014 Αποτελέσματα: σαράντα εννέα από τους πενήντα ασθενείς (37 άνδρες και 12 γυναίκες), στους οποίους χορηγήθηκε άδεια, επέστρεψαν κανονικά στον προκαθορισμένο χρόνο, έχοντας λάβει κανονικά στο χρονικό αυτό διάστημα την αγωγή τους.

Συμπεράσματα: η χορήγηση της άδειας στο πλαίσιο ακούσιας νοσηλείας αποτελεί ένα πολύ σημαντικό εργαλείο στα χέρια του θεράποντος και συνοδεύεται από υψηλό βαθμό συμμόρφω- σης από την πλευρά των ασθενών, κάτι που παρέχει στον πρώτο τη δυνατότητα ελέγχου με ασφάλεια και μεγαλύτερη ακρίβεια του βαθμού ετοιμότητας επιστροφής του ασθενούς στο κοι- νωνικό του περιβάλλον. Με βάση το ανωτέρω συμπέρασμα, δε θα μπορούσε να αποκλειστεί και θα έπρεπε να διερευνηθεί το ενδεχόμενο μεγαλύτερης συμμόρφωσης των ψυχωτικών ασθενών σε υπό όρους (τη λήψη της αγωγής και εξωνοσοκομειακά) χορήγηση εξιτηρίου.

Εισαγωγή: κάθε μέρα ένας σημαντικός αριθμός ψυχικά ασθενών ατόμων εισάγεται ακουσίως σε κάποια Ψυχιατρική Κλινική. Θεωρείται αυτονόητη η ανάγκη τήρησης των νόμιμων διαδικα-σιών, όχι ως κομμάτι μιας ψυχαναγκαστικής διαδικασίας, αλλά ως τρόπος εξασφάλισης του σεβασμού των δικαιωμάτων του πολίτη.

Σκοπός: να θέσουμε το ενδεχόμενο ύπαρξης κενού στη διαδικασία της ακούσιας νοσηλείας, όπως αυτή υλοποιείται στην ψυχιατρική καθημερινότητα και να προτείνουμε την ορθολογιστική κάλυψη αυτού του κενού.

Υλικό – Μέθοδος: έγινε έλεγχος σε διακόσια περιστατικά – ακούσιες εξετάσεις κατόπιν ανάλογης Εισαγγελικής εντολής, για τα οποία υπήρξε θετική γνωμοδότηση των εξεταστών Ψυχιάτρων (ως προς την ανάγκη ακούσιας νοσηλείας) και κατεγράφη ο αριθμός αυτών, που εισήχθησαν άμεσα σε Ψυχιατρική Κλινική μετά την εξέταση στο εφημερείο του Ψ.Ν.Α. Δαφνί.

Αποτελέσματα: το σύνολο των εξετασθέντων ύστερα από Εισαγγελική εντολή για ακούσια εξέταση και θετική γνωμοδότηση των εξεταστών Ψυχιάτρων, εισήχθη άμεσα για νοσηλεία, χω- ρίς να υφίσταται Εισαγγελική ή άλλη αρμόδια εντολή για ακούσια νοσηλεία.

Συμπεράσματα: παρά το γεγονός ότι η ακούσια νοσηλεία διατάσσεται μόνο από δικαστήριο, όπως προβλέπει ο Αστικός Κώδικας, ψυχικά ασθενείς νοσηλεύονται ακουσίως αμέσως μετά τη νόμιμη ακούσια ψυχιατρική εξέταση. Η διατήρηση ή η μη διατήρηση αυτής της πρακτικής προϋποθέτει νομιμοποιητικές ενέργειες, ώστε να μην υφίσταται αμφιβολία για την ορθότητα των ιατρικών πράξεων.

ΣΥΝΔΡΟΜΟ WilliAms: ΜΕΛΕΤΗ ΠΕΡΙΠΤΩΣΗΣ»/“WilliAms sYnDRomE: A CAsE sTuDY”E. KoiDou, KINDERGARTEN TEACHER, MINISTRY OF EDUCATION (Msc. University of Florence)

Το Σύνδρομο Williams είναι μια σπάνια γενετική πάθηση (1:20.000-1:50.000), η οποία προκαλεί ιατρικά και αναπτυξιακά προβλήματα. Άτομα με Σύνδρομο Williams, παρουσιάζουν ελαφρά έως μέτρια νοητική υστέρηση, ποικίλες ιατρικές ανωμαλίες, δυσμορφία προσώπου και ασυνήθιστες μορφές συμπεριφοράς. Το γνωστικό τους προφίλ χαρακτηρίζεται από αντιθέσεις στα επίπεδα των ικανοτήτων τους. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι, ενώ μπορεί να παρουσιάζουν διαταραχή έλλειψης προσοχής, αδυναμία έκφρασης συναισθημάτων, αδυναμία να δημιουργήσουν φιλίες, δυσκολίες στη μάθηση, καθώς και αυξημένο άγχος, από την άλλη πλευρά, είναι ιδιαίτερα κοι-νωνικά και ομιλητικά, χρησιμοποιούν πλούσιο και ποιοτικό λεξιλόγιο και δείχνουν μια ιδιαίτερα έντονη επιθυμία για προσφορά βοήθειας και υποστήριξης στο συνάνθρωπο. Ειδικοί δηλώνουν, ότι το Σύνδρομο Williams θα μπορούσε να χαρακτηριστεί και ως το «έτερον ήμισυ» ή ακόμα και το «αντίθετο» του αυτισμού. Άτομα με το Σύνδρομο αυτό έχουν επίσης ιδιαίτερη κλίση προς τη μουσική, πολύ περισσότερο από άτομα με άλλα νευροαναπτυξιακά σύνδρομα, ή ακόμα και από άτομα με τυπική ανάπτυξη. Αντικείμενο της μελέτης, αποτελεί μαθητής της προσχολικής ηλικίας, ο οποίος φοιτά σε κανονικό τμήμα Νηπιαγωγείου. Η Νηπιαγωγός, η οποία δεν διαθέτει ειδίκευση στην ειδική αγωγή, προέβει σε μια, κατά το δυνατόν εκτενέστερη αξιολόγηση, ώστε να αποκτήσει μια πιο σαφή εικόνα για το μαθητή και να μπορέσει να βοηθήσει με κατάλληλες εκπαιδευτικές παρεμβάσεις.

This presentation will focus on analyzing the Psychological, Social & Academic profile of Children with Learning Differences (LD), and how these children are marginalized and stigmatized within their families, at school, in their every day lives and especially in their relationship with self and others. It will presented the importance of the role of educational psychologists, counselors and special educators in supporting them in order to overcome their difficulties by providing them with appropriate psycho-educational support, conflict resolution and problem-solving skills along with emotional care.

In this presentation, it will be emphasized the ‘Vicious Cycle’ these children have to face that blocks their learning and limits their everyday relationships with their own self and others. It will be explained how the children, especially in adolescence- often feel ‘inadequate’ and are mislabeled as ‘lazy’, ‘indifferent’ or ‘bully’. It be will examined how these children can end up believing that they have low IQ, poor self-esteem, confused sense of self-identity, and, as a result, exhibit juvenile delinquent, bullying behaviors and use ‘masks’ in order to cover up for their academic inabilities. In reality, these children can be charismatic personalities with average to high IQ and developed EQ (Emotional Intelligence), if they receive an early and proper psychological and academic intervention to enhance their unique abilities.

Finally, in this paper I will present the innovative work that we did over 16 years at the Counseling/Learning Center of the International School of Athens (ISA), where an organized team of counseling and school psychologists, special educators, speech specialists, play/ occupational therapists and sensitive teachers supported these students in order to build a strong faith in themselves, to build on their strengths and to work around their weaknesses and finally to grow emotionally, socially and academically.

BACKgRounD: Family Medicine is a relatively new specialty in Kenya. It involves the care of the entire individual and the family and integrates biological, clinical and behavioral sciences. Its scope is not limited to age, sex, and organ system or disease entity. It is recognized that the present health system faces concerns of fragmentation of care, failure to prioritise, lack of finance and health disparities. In this regard, the development and promotion of family medicine is necessary to provide efficient, continuous, comprehensive, coordinated and cost-effective care at the population level. The World Health Organization recently release a report proposing that primary health care will promote health equity in development countries to address the millennium development goals at a population level. Understanding the current perception of Family Medicine in Kenya while the specialty is in its nascent stage.is a crucial step in promoting, marketing and planning the delivery of family medicine services.

Aims: Objective 1: to identify gaps in patients’ knowledge about the role of family physicians. Objective 2: to formulate programmes to bridge those gaps and create more awareness on the role of the family physician.

REFEREnCEs: WHO Primary Care Now More Than Ever 2008. Perception about Family Physicians: Results of a Survey of Patients visiting Specialist Clinics for Treatment S. A. Huda, Z. A. A. Samani, W. Qidwai*

mEThoDs: The study is a questionnaire based cross-sectional survey of patients visiting selected primary care clinics in Nairobi. Convenience sampling will be used. In addition to demographic information, the survey will capture perceived characteristics and roles of family medicine. All consenting English-speaking adult patients visiting the selected primary care clinics will be included in the study. Ethical approval will be obtained from the ethics committee of the Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi. SPSS Software will be used for the data entry and analysis. A pilot survey was conducted at a primary care clinic to assess acceptability and feasibility during the week of 27th May, 2013.

Preliminary Results: The study plan is in progress. The results of the pilot surveys is presented here.

Discussion: Increasing recognition from Family Medicine to Family Physicians to Family Doctor. Over 90% thought FP can treat common adult illnesses such as cough, headache, diarrhea, flu and common childhood illness such as cold, fever, vomiting and sore throat. 100% of participants thought FPs can treat adult men and women, children, elderly and adolescents. More variance in results regarding FP treating chronic illnesses, and preforming common procedures.

introduction: Sleep disorders (SD) affect up to the 84% of subjects with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) increasing cognitive and behavioural impariments. Even more, SD is a marker of family stress and one of the main reasons for drug treatment.

Aim: Evaluate the effectiveness of agomelatine improving sleep quality by actimetry in ASD.

methods: A randomized, crossover, double-blind, placebo-controlled and multicenter clinical trial, was performed in 25 subjects with ASD. Participants along two periods of 3 months received (A) agomelatine 25 mg/day or (B) placebo. Functional circadian rhythm markers (wrist temperature, actimetry and position (TAP)) and salivary cortisol, were measured during a week at the beginning and at the end of each period (random drug sequence: AB or BA). Results: Participants were 25 adults with low-functioning ASD (20♂/ 5♂, mean age of 32±2 years). We found significantly differences improving circadian rhythms in agomelatine vs placebo (p=0,018). We observed an absence of difference in cortisol levels between groups suggesting that hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis functioning was unaltered.

Conclusions: Actigraphy is an objective and useful tool to analyze SD in ASD population, where preliminary, agomelatine seems effective in improving sleep patterns compared to placebo. Further analyses will focus on correlation between actigraphy and genetic and epigenetic analyses from sleep genes data. DAnCE AnD DEmEnTiAAmanda Kougioufa

Dementia is estimated to rise dramatically in the next forty years, influencing the world’s economy and people’s lives. In order to cope with an escalating population troubled by some type of neurodegenerative condition, a psychosocial intervention like dance and dance movement therapy, as suggested in this paper, may be beneficial in dealing with this developing situation. Through dance /movement, the body-mind interrelationship is enhanced, as the brain is engaged through the body, providing opportunities of enjoyable activities for the person threatened with losing a sense of self. An embodied psychotherapeutic approach like Dance Therapy which focuses on capabilities rather than inabilities, allows meaningful engagement and communication with the person’s states of being in the moment, on a physical, emotional, social and neurological level, whilst providing opportunities of mutual interaction between people with dementia and their care givers.

Δεν γεννιόμαστε με υψηλή Συναισθηματική Νοημοσύνη αλλά την αποκτούμε μέσα από την ανεπίσημη εκπαίδευση σε αυτήν κατά την παιδική και ενήλικη ζωή μας. Είναι λοιπόν ένα είδος νοημοσύνης το οποίο χτίζεται στην πορεία της ανάπτυξης ενός ανθρώπου. Μέχρι σήμερα η έλλειψη ενημέρωσης σε συνδυασμό με την προσκόλληση σε παλιές νοοτροπίες έχουν παρεμπο-δίσει την ουσιαστική κινητοποίηση για την οργανωμένη εκπαίδευση σε δεξιότητες Συναισθημα-τικής Νοημοσύνης διαιωνίζοντας προσωπικές και διαπροσωπικές δυσκολίες. Αυτό συνεπάγεται ότι στους περισσότερους από εμάς δεν έχουν σφυρηλατηθεί οι ικανότητες που πλαισιώνουν την υψηλή Συναισθηματική Νοημοσύνη.

Ποια είναι λοιπόν τα χαρακτηριστικά ενός ανθρώπου με υψηλή Συναισθηματική Νοημοσύνη και ποια είναι η σημασία της Συναισθηματικής Νοημοσύνης στη ζωή μας;

Furthermore, it is unique in that it includes a reliability scale in order to ascertain consistency in the examinee’s answers. CAPRE-DIEM is one of the tools that are candidates for becoming one of the official EU tools for assessing psychosocial risks in the workplace. It is the only Greek inventory that assesses all factors as described by the EU-OSHA and the fact that it includes reliability factors assessing the participant’s tendencies makes it worthwhile.The psychosocial risks questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for the assessment of problems related to:

• Mental health• Social issues• Working conditions• The employee’s opinion about the organization and their colleagues

It comprises 216 statements and the participant’s responses are measured on a four-point scale ranging from ‘Definitely True’ to ‘Definitely False’. The questionnaire takes approximately 30-40 minutes to complete and the participant is required to have completed the third grade of primary school.The validity and assessment scales it encompasses make this questionnaire significantly different from other similar questionnaires. These scales assess:

The FFPQ is the briefest inventory in the field since it contains only 121 items in contrast to other equivalent inventories that have more than 200 items. Needless to say that its brevity affects neither the factors it measures nor its reliability. It comprises six fields for every factor. These factors are: Ideas, Values, Conscientiousness, Impulse and Ability. It provides a full description of the candidate’s personality which is valuable for a wide range of evaluations and professionals in the clinical and occupational environment. It is also the only inventory that includes reliability scales that measure not only each personality factor separately but also the personality factors as a whole. The FFPQ is an easy-to-use, practical, reliable and time efficient inventory that evaluates the examinee’s personality characteristics based on the Five Factor Model. It consists of 121 items and 30 sub-factors that form the 5 main personality factors. The FFPQ is the briefest tool in comparison to equivalent questionnaires that are almost double its size. Yet its brevity doesn’t compromise the reliability or validity of the results. The FFPQ is a new questionnaire that measures the factors of the Five Factor Model (FFM) and provides a detailed personality description that can be a valuable aid for a variety of professionals. The FFPQ is a concise measure of the five major domains of personality as well as the six traits or facets that define each domain. In all, the five domain scales and 30 facet scales of the FFPQ, including the scales for the domains of Willingness and Conscientiousness, facilitate a comprehensive and detailed assessment of normal adult personality. On the present study we will present characteristics, but also the psychometric properties of tis questionnaire for the Greek and English language.An inTRoDuCTion oF ThE WoRKPlACE BEhAVioRAl EVAluATion inVEnToRY (WBEi), AnD iTs VAliDATion in ThE gREEK AnD English sPEAKing PoPulATionDimitrios lyrakos**, Argyro gkolfi**Organizational Psychologist, Cave, Filistos Psychosocial Testing and Consulting **Clinical and Forensic Psychologist, Elpis Care, Filistos Psychosocial Testing and Consulting

The Workplace Behavioural Evaluation Inventory (WBEI) is a 168-item questionnaire that evaluates how someone performs at work in terms of a number of situations and conditions. It consists of 5 main divisions and 21 overall factors. The WBEI can be used in order to evaluate the employee’s strengths and weaknesses and their suitability for a specific position. The Cost-efficient, fast and uncomplicated to administer, it provides valuable and accurate information for a candidate’s or current employee’s behaviour type. It can assist an HR department ascertain the candidate’s ability for a particular position and/or task. It evaluates 21 behavioural characteristics, including commitment, adaptability, autonomy, teamwork abilities, problem-solving skills etc. The examinee’s possible tendency to exaggerate or understate a characteristic is assessed separately in every factor. On the present study we will present characteristics, but also the psychometric properties of tis questionnaire for the Greek and English language.

The impact of affiliate stigma has been widely studied. This study aims to investigate the relationship between affiliate stigma and quality of life (QOL) among primary caregivers of those with mental illness in a tertiary mental health institute in Singapore.

A cross-sectional study of 216 caregivers was conducted using an abbreviated version of World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) and a Family Stigma Scale (FSS). Multiple linear regression was used for analysis.

The mean age of the caregivers was 48.9 years, majority of them were female (67.1%), Chinese (56%) and parents of patients (34.3%). Caregivers experiencing more affiliate stigma significantly associated with poorer QOL in all four domain; physical health (β=-.056), psychological (β=- .081), social relationship (β= -.068) and environmental (β= -.050). The most endorsed item was “helping other people to understand what it is like to have a family member with psychiatric problem” (64%); the least endorsed item was “you felt ashamed or embarrassed about it” (16%).

A high proportion of caregivers experience affiliate stigma in Singapore. All four QOLdomains were significantly associated with affiliate stigma. These findings entail that it’simperative to provide support and improve public’s perception of those with mental illness to reduce stigmatization and thus improve caregiver’s QOL.

Background and aim: Gingival hyperplasia, a relatively common side effect of antiepileptic and anticonvulsant drugs, occurs in 30-50% of patients using phenytoin and 25-81% of those using cyclosporine. Gingival hyperplasia due to imbalance between synthesis and degradation of extra cellular is associated with increased production of IL-1B, IL-6 and IL-8 by gingival fibroblasts. Tissue level of IL-17 increases in inflammatory conditions. Since the role of IL-17 and patient age in gingival hyperplasia is still unclear, this study aimed to compare the level of IL-17 produced by gingival fibroblasts in children and adults.

materials and methods: This study was conducted on biopsy specimens obtained from the healthy gingiva of 4 adults in the age range of 35-42 years undergoing crown lengthening surgery and 4 children aged 4-11 years undergoing impacted tooth surgery. Biopsy specimens were cultured in a mixture of Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM), penicillin, 1% Streptomycin and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C and 5% CO2. The specimens were monitored for contamination and cell proliferation and the medium was refreshed if necessary.

Results: The level of IL-17 produced by gingival fibroblasts isolated from children and adults was not significantly different at baseline and after the addition of cyclosporine or phenytoin. The two groups of children and adults were not significantly different in terms of the production of IL-17 by gingival fibroblasts. The two groups of children and adults were not significantly different in terms of the production of IL-17 at baseline or after exposure to cyclosporine or phenytoin.

Conclusion: IL-17 inflammatory cytokine does not play a role in gingival hyperplasia in children and adults.

Background and purpose: Adult attachment had strongly impacted on the relationship quality. Yet, insecurely attached couple had experience of less marital satisfaction and more marital conflict. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the difficulties of the trainee family therapist encounters when counseling a couple with an insecure attachment.

methods: A single case study and a cycle of action research (identifying, planning, acting and reflecting) was employed with in-depth interviews. The family therapy was carried out for 9 sessions. Qualitative content analysis was used.

Results: Two primary themes are emphasized throughout the study: 1) The role of therapist: i) being flexible when choosing approach, ii) from modern to post-modern approach; 2) Insight gained into emotion-focused therapy practice: be more patient to access vulnerability.

Research limitations: The limitations of this study were the sole focus of the individual case and the findings might be affected by selection bias of the participant.

Conclusions and implications: Findings from this case study, therapists are encouraged to acknowledge the complexity of problems, keep self-reflection and high adaptability to change.

introduction and Aims: Chemokines are known by its major role on inflammation and immune responses in neuroinflammatory diseases including schizophrenia. We investigated the relationship between chemokines and schizophrenia by analyzing the role of MCP-1-A2518G, SDF-1-3’A, CCR5-delta32, CCR5-A55029G, CxCR4-C138T and CCR2-V64I gene polymorphisms in Turkish patients.

methods: Genotyping was conducted by PCR-RFLP based on 140 patients and 123 unrelated healthy controls.

Results: We demonstrated a positive association between CCR2 and CCR5 gene variants and schizophrenia risk. Frequencies of CCR2-V64I 64I+, CCR5-A55029G A+ and CCR5-A55029G AG genotypes were higher in patients than the controls.

Discussion: Our findings suggested that CCR2-V64I and CCR5-A55029G polymorphisms might be associated with schizophrenia.

*Research Division, Institute of Mental Health, SINGAPORE.inTRoDuCTion AnD Aims: Caregivers of those with mental illness(MI) often experience

high levels of stress as these disorders are long-lasting and unpredictable. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived stress(PS) and quality of life(QOL) among caregivers of individuals with MI.

mEThoDs: Two-hundred-and-sixteen caregivers of patients with MI attending outpatient clinic at the Institute of Mental Hospital, a tertiary mental health service in Singapore, were recruited through convenient sampling. Caregivers were assessed using the brief version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF instrument and the Perceived Stress Scale. The relationship between PS and QOL was tested using multiple linear regression analyses.

REsulTs: The mean age of caregivers was 49.8years. Majority of them were females(67.1%). Caregivers who were students and have lower education levels(less than secondary level) reported significantly higher perceived stress compared with those who were employed and those with higher education, respectively. High perceived stress was significantly associated with low QOL in physical health(β=-0.16), social relationships(β=-0.19), psychological(β=-0.21) and environmental(β=-0.17) domains.

DisCussion: Caregiver’s PS was found to have significant impact on their QOL in four domains. This finding reinforces the need for social support and psycho-education to help caregivers cope with stress and improve their QOL.

introducion and Aims: The deficit in social skills is one of the risk factors identified by the theoretical models of consume initiation. Data are available to establish the relationship between deficit in social skills and substance use, however there are no studies with sufficiently large samples and representative of the study population that allow the generalization of the results. The aim of this study was to analyze social skills as predictors of substance use in Spanish adolescents, and to establish the relationship between social skills and consumption according to gender and age.

methods: The sample consisted of 1688 high school Spanish students aged between 13 and 17 years that reported their consumption habits and their social competence. Results: It was found a clear relationship between social skills and substance use. Antisocial behavior is associated with alcohol and cannabis. Males scored more on aggressive/antisocial behavior, pride/arrogance and loneliness/social anxiety.

Discussion: New evidence demonstrating the influence of social skills in consumption is presented. The results confirm the importance of preventing substance selectively with adolescents with inappropriate social behavior. It is necessary that programs develop social competence and reduce aggressive behaviors to prevent consumption.

This research was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness(PSI2011-26819).

introduction and Aims: Anxiety and depression are the most prevalent psychological problems in adolescents. Negative mood is a major cause of psychoactive substances in adolescents, but can also result in consumption. The aim of this study was to examine depressive and anxiety symptoms, and use of drugs in a sample of Spanish adolescents. Furthermore, the relationship between these variables was examined.

methods: The sample was formed by 380 Spanish adolescents from three high schools, aged between 12 and 17 years. Adolescents completed a survey including anxiety and depression, and use of drugs.

Results: Regarding anxiety, 53.4% of students scored above the cut-off point. For depression, 47.6% of participants scoring above the cutoff point. Females scored higher for both symptoms. Amongst those who drink alcohol, the majority does it once a month (41.1%) or once a week (30.6%); tobacco users tend to smoke daily (55.3%), whereas marihuana users consume it either daily (33.3%) or once a week (26.7%). A series of linear regressions found that, after controlling for gender and age, statistically significant relationships existed between anxiety and depression scores and having consumed alcohol any time; also, between depression score and having consumed tobacco any time.

Discussion: Early detection of negative mood symptomatology can act as a preventive strategy of substance use in Spanish adolescents.

introduction and Aims: Tobacco is the second most consumed drug among Spanish schoolchildren. The aim of this study was to verify the existing relation between adolescents’ perception towards their peer group’s opinion on tobacco consumption and their thoughts on consumption.

methods: A sample of 1430 Spanish adolescents was recruited ageing between 14 and 19 years old (M = 15.28; SD = 1.20). The adolescents were assessed with the items “Do your friends see smoking as unacceptable?” and their thoughts on smoking. Results: The perception of their peer groups’ negative opinion on tobacco consumption showed a significant correlation with positive thoughts about stopping smoking or not starting at all (r = .81; p < .01). In the sample of non-smokers (N = 1032), 29.74% of the adolescents perceived tobacco consumption on behalf of their peers as very unacceptable, whereas 18.7% perceived it as acceptable. Regarding the smokers sample (N = 502), 7.17% had no intention of stopping smoking and perceived tobacco consumption on behalf of their peers as very acceptable. Those who perceived tobacco consumption on behalf of their peers as very unacceptable were trying to stop smoking (13.34%) or had already stopped and were trying not to smoke again (15.53%).

Discussion: The findings support the idea that the peer group inflicts an influence on consumption in adolescents.

High tolerance of ambiguity among counselor trainees has been found to be associated with more positive client change (Tucker, 1970) and higher counseling self-efficacy (Harper, 2008). According to the developmental view of supervision, effective supervisory styles promote counseling self-efficacy by attending to different needs based on trainees’ developmental level and personality traits. The present study investigated the moderation effect of supervisory style on the relationship between trainees’ ambiguity tolerance and counseling self-efficacy, after controlling for the level of training measured by the number of practicum years. It was hypothesized that (1) the main effects of ambiguity tolerance and three supervisory styles (i.e., attractive, interpersonal-sensitive, and task-oriented) would be positively associated with counseling self-efficacy; and (2) the interaction effects of each supervisory style would moderate the relationship between ambiguity tolerance and counseling self-efficacy.

method Participants: A total of 245 trainees and interns in counseling and clinical programs at the Masters and Doctoral levels were recruited. Detailed information will be presented in the convention paper.

measures: Instruments with sound reliability and validity used for this study included the Session Management subscale from the Counselor Activity Self-Efficacy Scales-General version (CASES-G, Lent, Hill, & Hofman, 2003), the Supervision Styles Inventory-Trainee Version (SSI, Friedlander & Ward, 1984), which includes three subscales: (a) Attractive (e.g., «collegial approach to supervision»), (b) Interpersonal-Sensitivity (e.g., «process-orientedand therapeutic approach to supervision»), and (c) Task-Oriented (e.g., «practical, didactic approach to supervision»); and the Ambiguity Tolerance-20 Scale (AT-20, MacDonald, 1970).

Results and Discussion: Results supported all main effects (see Table 1). Ambiguity tolerance and three supervisory styles (i.e., attractive, interpersonal-sensitive, and taskoriented) were significantly associated with counseling self-efficacy. This result is consistent with previous research findings showing positive associations of ambiguity tolerance and effective supervisory styles with trainees’ perceived effectiveness as clinicians (Harper, 2008; Teitelbaum, 1998). Results also indicated a two-way interaction of ambiguity tolerance and attractive supervisory style accounted for an additional 2% of the variance in predicting counseling self-efficacy. Simple effect analyses shown in Figure 1 indicated that the positive relation between ambiguity tolerance and counseling self-efficacy was significant at a low level of attractive supervisory style (b = .38, ß = .32, p < .001), but not significant at a high level of attractive supervisory style (b = .01, ß = .01, p = .94); Similarly, a two-way interaction of ambiguity tolerance and interpersonal-sensitive style accounted for an additional 2% of the variance in counseling self-efficacy. Simple effect analyses shown in Figure 2 indicated the positive relation between ambiguity tolerance and counseling selfefficacy was significant at a low level of interpersonal-sensitive style (b =.33, ß = .28, p < .001), but not significant at a high level (b = .01, ß = .01, p = .91). Meanwhile, no significant two-way interaction was found for task-oriented supervisory style. In summary, high level of attractive and interpersonal-sensitive supervisory styles may help trainees with low level of ambiguity tolerance to maintain their counseling self-efficacy. Future research, limitations, and implications will be discussed in the convention paper.

introduction: A hundred years ago the world witnessed the start of an armed conflict unlike anything that preceded it. A series of initiatives to commemorate the human suffering involved typically applies the framework of psychic trauma to enhance the understanding of what transpired. Although such a move seems evident to a contemporary eye, the author argues that it surely was not straightforward at the time of the conflict itself. Method: In this article, the current, hegemonic model of psychic trauma is briefly described, with special attention for the problematic core assumptions that underpin it. Next, the author turns to the history of trauma studies, mainly focusing on two founding moments therein: (1) the railroad accidents in the 19th century, which gave rise to the idea of “railway spine”, and (2) the controversy regarding “Shell shock” in World War I. Results: This historical retrospect allows the author to formulate four conclusions that call into question the tendency to reify our current understanding of traumatic phenomena. Discussion: most importantly, this retrospect suggests that exportation of the PTSD-model of trauma into non-Western cultures, for instance when trauma psychiatry is adopted in humanitarian psychosocial interventions, can be problematic. This is due to its dependence on a Western value system and cosmology that are not universally shared.

introduction: Suicidal ideation (SI), mood and anxiety disorders are highly prevalent and unrecognized in primary care (PC) settings. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of SI in association with mental disorders in PC patients.

methods: A cross-sectional survey based on standard mental health evaluation was performed. 998 adult patients from four urban PC clinics were enrolled into the study.

Results: SI was found in 6.1%, major depressive episode (MDE) was found in 15.2%, anxiety disorders in 26.3% and alcohol misuse/probable alcohol abuse in 34.8% of PC patients. Suicidal patients were more likely to have a current MDE (OR=3.7; 2.2–6.6), social anxiety (OR=3.0; 1.2-8.1) posttraumic stress disorder (OR=3.4; 1.1-10.3), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) (OR=3.3; 1.9–5.6). It was found that when other mental disorders presented (MDE, GAD, MDE&GAD or any anxiety disorder) the odds ratios for suicidality increase. Multivariate analyses suggested that suicidality is mainly associated with depression and anxiety, generally with coexistent MDE&GAD. Subjects with both generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder were at greatest risk of suicidality.

Discussion: SI is prevalent and associated with the presence of MDE and GAD. Coexistence of current MDE and GAD increases suicidal ideation in primary care patients.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is defined as a neurodevelopmental disorder and is characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts (DSM-V). The present study aims to provide information about the outcomes achieved using different ways of treating childhood autism (speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and psychotherapy) in England and in Greece and to compare data on the progress made by each child over the course of research in the social and communication area in the context of the two different countries. The study design is a retrospective, mixed between and within subjects design. Twenty children with autism who have completed one of two differing types of intervention in England (psychotherapy, n=10 and speech and language therapy, n=10) and twenty children with autism that have received one of two types of treatment in Greece (occupational therapy, n=10 and speech and language therapy, n=10) were recruited to be monitored post-intervention twice over a two-year period. All measures were completed by the parents and via direct testing with the children. Analysis of the test data revealed that the children changed significantly over time on all aspects of measurement and that children with autism are developing in a very similar way across the two countries. Post-hoc comparisons were implemented in order to examine changes over time for each group separately and it was found that intervention context may have subtle effects on the aspects of autism, which change over time. For instance, the children that showed change in their imagination over time were only the ones receiving psychotherapy.

introduction and Aim: This study aimed to investigate electrophysiological evidence on the effectiveness of perceptual and semantic memory strategies. Matched difficulty levels, a common confound in previous studies, of these two strategies were utilized.

method: Seventeen younger, older, and 10 MCI individuals were recruited. They studied a series of Chinese characters perceptually and semantically, and then made studied or unstudied judgments during the recognition phase, while having their brain electrical activities recorded. D’ was used as a measure for recognition performance. AN(C)OVA tests were used for analysis of data.

Results: Younger and older group comparisons showed significance on d’. Post-hoc tests indicated older group had lower d’ in both conditions. These results were companied by larger frontal and central brain activities in the younger sample. Older and MCI group comparisons showed marginally significant group by condition effect on d’. Post-hoc tests indicated that MCI individuals performed worse in the semantic condition. Negative-going patterns in brain activities were identified in MCI sufferers.

Discussions: There was electrophysiological evidence of effectiveness of the two strategies. Whenever possible, healthy elderly are encouraged to engage in semantic encoding to ensure better memory performance. MCI persons may benefit more from a perceptual strategy, such as imagery.

Despite growing interest in conceptualizing reactive aggression (RA) and proactive aggression (PA) as involving in disrupted emotion response modulation, few studies elucidated physiological and experiential mechanism related to behavioral emotional modulation in the two types of aggression. To address this caveat, this study examined experiential and physiological responding via measures of self-report, respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and skin conductance level (SCL) in children with aggression (n=58) and typically developing controls (n=57). Both groups were asked to watch four film clips (two negative emotional clips, followed by two positive emotional clips), and modulate their facial expression. Results supported difference in physiological responding between aggressive and nonaggressive children. More importantly, among aggression children, proactive aggression was negatively related to SCL responses, while reactive aggression positively to them. No significant relations observed in RSA and aggression. The findings also potentially supported effects of behavioral modulation on physiological response, but only for PA, not for RA. Besides, the hypothesis that behavioral induction can promote experiential feelings was only partially supported in positive emotion: RA was positively related to happy feeling during behavioral induction, while PA was negatively related to it. No effect found in negative emotion.Young PEoPlE’s PERCEPTion oF EConomiC CRisis in ConTEmPoRARY gREECE: A DYnAmiCAl soCiAl PsYChologY PERsPECTiVECharalambos Tsekeris1 & maria Pinguli2,1.

The Greek society is currently in a dynamic and nonlinear process of transition. But the same applies to the Greek self, both at individual and group level. The aim of the present survey is to demonstrate the complex relationship between individual/collective suffering and the dismantling of dominant social structures in crisis-ridden Greece, with special reference to young people. The sample pertains to 279 students (mostly at public universities), 195 females and 84 males, aged between 18-30 years, nearly half of them unemployed. The duration of the survey was almost one month (December 2014 – January 2015). The tool for data collection was an online questionnaire composed of 19 questions, distributed through

social media, with participation being voluntary and anonymous. According to the research findings, the majority of the students lack the resources to survive the crisis, while considering austerity measures as unfair and undemocratic. Most of them feel disappointed and seem not to trust established institutions, such as church, state, police, and Greek military, as well as the mass media and the politicians. But almost all participants believe that the Greeks can change the adverse situation through volunteerism and civil society. This supports a dynamical social psychology perspective, in which new psychosocial patterns emerge through self-organization and cooperation.mAnAgEmEnT AnD EPiDEmiologY oF mEnTAl DisoRDERs in EmERgEnCYmelis g1 (Medical Doctor), Pia g2 (Director), Piras i2 (Registered Nurse), Tusconi m3 (Medical Doctor)1Ph.D in Physiopathology training program, University of Sassari, ITALY; 2Emergency Department Holy Trinity Hospital Local Health Unit Cagliari, ITALY; 3Department of Public Health, Clinical and Molecular Medicine - Section of Psychiatry, University of Cagliari, ITALY Introduction and Aims: Access to emergency services by patients in a state of agitation and its management, appears to be a complex problem characterized by many aspects. Aims of this study was to assess the management of the state of agitation in a Emergency Room (ER).

methods: The total sample analysed includes 34468 patients. In 2013 at an emergency room of Sardinia, were 958 (2.8 % of the total), the main problem with access to the «state of agitation». Retrospective analyses were performed on data on access to the Emergency Department for the years 2012 and 2013; the reference population are outpatients with intoxication reported as the main problem. The sample includes patients of all ages with acute intoxication by psychoactive drugs and abuse of drugs (psychoactive drugs and alcohol). All data analysis was performed using SPSS software (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL).

Results: The 46.3% of the total ER was transported by ambulance with volunteers, 39.5% occurred independently, while 10% (n=96) came on ambulance with physician (p=0.009). The sample is analyzed on the basis of gender, had a diagnosis of anxiety disorder in 13.7% of cases; Bipolar disorder in 16.5%, psychosis in 27.7% (p <0.001), depression in 17.1% (p=0.004). For year 2012, the number of total ER visits for intoxication amounted to 338 and 243 of which are for abuse of drugs (72%). For year 2013, this percentage increased reporting 287 outpatients for intoxication by drugs abuse (79% of those admitted for intoxication, n=362), representing 0.83% of the total number of ER outpatients visits (n=34,476). Patients with a diagnosis of psychiatric illness are 40.8%; with diagnosis of drug addiction 18.5%, 10.9% alcoholism, drug addiction and alcoholism 2.6%; psychiatric condition associated with drug addiction and/or alcoholism 4.5% (p<0.001). The drugs taken are: psychoactive drugs 46.2%; alcohol 22.6%; mixed drugs and alcohol abuse 13,7% (χ2=104.870, df=8, p<0.001). Out of a total sample 117 were classified as attempted suicide or expressed suicidal ideation.This sample, representing 0.34% of total accesses, is composed of 74 males (mean age 41.9±11.8) and 43 females (mean age 51.5±12.4) (p=0.001). The statistical analysis based on gender showed that 40.2% of the sample is affected by depression (m=53, f=17) (p=0.001), 17.9% Bipolar Disorder (m=11, f=10) (p=0.254) and 17.2% Psychosis (m=19, f=1) (p=0.001). Anticonservative behaviours required pharmacological treatment in emergency in the 10.3% of cases, while in 46.2% of cases it has been necessary to be admitted to the hospital ward.

Discussion: According to the study, it is clear the central role of ER in diagnostic and treatment of patients with mental illnesses and their management and transfer to the most appropriate structure.

introduction and Aims: The management of patients with psychiatric issues is different depending on the age of the individual. The geriatric patient in the emergency room is a patient that appears to be complex, both for the multiple problems from which is often affected by, than to the difficulty in collecting an adequate history in a little time. Psychiatric disorders and acute intoxications represent a problem difficult to manage especially if they relate to the adolescent years. The study aimed to assess the epidemiology of dementia and psychiatric illnesses and poisonings in adolescents in emergency.

methods: From an initial sample of 34468 patients who have been admitted to an Emergency Department (ED) of Sardinia, Italy, has been selected a cohort of 1051 patients who were hospitalized in a Geriatric Unit. Furthermore, In 2013 in the Central Office 118, southern Sardinia, has been received 66862 requests for assistance; among these, 157 involved patients aged 13 to 17 years with psychiatric problems (68.8%) and poisoning by various substances (31.2%). All data analysis was performed using SPSS software (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL)

Results: The 46.3% of the total ER was transported by ambulance with volunteers, 39.5% occurred independently, while 10% (n=96) came on ambulance with physician (p=0.009). The sample is analyzed on the basis of gender, had a diagnosis of anxiety disorder in 13.7% of cases; Bipolar disorder in 16.5%, psychosis in 27.7% (p <0.001), depression in 17.1% (p=0.004) . For the 11.2% of the patients it was necessary to carry out a drug treatment urgency (118/ER). The drugs taken are: psychoactive drugs 46.2%; alcohol 22.6%; mixed drugs and alcohol abuse 13,7% (p<0.001). Out of a total sample 117 were classified as attempted suicide or expressed suicidal ideation. This sample, representing 0.34% of total accesses, is composed of 74 males (mean age 41.9±11.8) and 43 females (mean age 51.5±12.4) (p=0.001). The statistical analysis based on gender showed that 40.2% of the sample is affected by depression (m=53, f=17) (p=0.001), 17.9% Bipolar Disorder (m=11, f=10) (p=0.254) and 17.2% Psychosis (m=19, f=1) (p=0.001). Anticonservative behaviours required pharmacological treatment in emergency in the 10.3% of cases, while in 46.2% of cases it has been necessary to be admitted to the hospital ward.

Discussion: From the analysis of the sample shows that the management of people with psychiatric problems appears to be very complex especially for the young and old patients.

Bipolar disorder (BD) in children, is characterized by extreme changes in mood that range from depressive «lows» to manic «highs». Identifying BD in youth is challeng ing because, while adults with BD often have distinct periods of depression and mania that last for weeks, months, or longer, youth diagnosed with BD frequently have de presssive and

manic symptoms that occur daily, and sometimes simultaneously. Comorbid disorders are common, which makes determining what symptoms are signs of BD and which are due to other disorders (e.g., depression, ADHD, disruptive beha vior problems) critical. Prevalence of children who meet DSM criteria for BD is arou nd 2%,but it can be argued that DSM criteria are interpreted differently by differrent researchers. Management usually consists of pharmacological and psychological thera py. The drugs most commonly used are mood stabilizers and atypical antipsychotics. Psychological treatment usually combines education on the disease, group therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Cases of BD in children have been known for a lo ng time, although they were thought to be rare. This view has changed since the mid 1990s, and future research directions include improving treatments, diagnostic crite ria, and the knowledge of BD in children.gillEs DE lA TouRETTE sYnDRomE: TREATmEnTDr. maria D. sinanidou, School and Clinical Psychologist - Psychotherapist

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is an inherited neuropsychiatric disorder with onset in childhood, characterized by multiple physical (motor) tics and at least one vocal (phonic) tic. Tourette’s is defined as part of a spectrum of tic disorders, which includes provisional, transient and persistent (chronic) tics. Between 0.4% and 3.8% of children ages 5 to 18 may have Tourette’s; the prevalence of other tic disorders in school-age children is higher, with the more common tics of eye blinking, coughing, throat clearing, sniffing, and facial movements. Extreme Tourette’s in adulthood is a rarity, and Tourette’s does not adversely affect intelligence or life expectancy. There is no effective treatment for every case of tics, but certain medications and therapies can help when their use is warranted. Education is an important part of any treatment plan, and explanation and reassurance alone are often sufficient treatment. Comorbid conditions (co-occurring diagnoses other than Tourette’s) such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) are present in many patients seen in tertiary specialty clinics. These other conditions often cause more functional impairment to the individual than the tics that are the hallmark of Tourette’s, hence it is important to correctly identify comorbid conditions and treat them.

A panic attack is a sudden surge of overwhelming anxiety and fear. Left untreated, panic attacks can lead to panic disorder and other problems. They may even cause to withdraw from normal activities. Many people experience panic attacks without further episodes or complications. However, some people who’ve experienced panic attacks go on to develop panic disorder. Panic disorder is characterized by repeated panic attacks, combined with major changes in behavior or persistent anxiety over having further attacks. Panic attacks and panic disorder are treatable conditions. Cognitive behavioral therapy is generally viewed as the most effective form of treat ment for panic attacks, panic disorder, and agoraphobia. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the thinking patterns and behaviors that are sustaining or triggering the panic attacks. It helps look at fears in a more realistic light.

introduction and Aims: Recent evidence suggests that affect may be impaired not only in internalizing disorders but also in ADHD. In particular, both cognitive and affect regulation may be impaired in pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) and ADHD, even though most studies conceptualize PBD as mainly a mood dysregulation syndrome and ADHD as mainly an executive dysfunction (EF) syndrome. In this study we examined illness-specific differences in affect regulation per se, and as they may relate to cognition.

methods: Sixteen adolescents with PBD (Type I, Type II), and 12 adolescents with ADHD, Type Combined, (mean age=12.41, SD=2.12) were assessed using the Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Functions (BRIEF), the Conners’ Rating Scale (parental reports), Trails A&B, Math and Reading Fluency, and the Digit and Spatial Span tasks. ANOVAs and post-hoc comparisons examined potential group differences.

Results: For the BRIEF, PBD had significantly worse scores than ADHD on three sub-scales of the Behavior Regulation Index: the Inhibition (p=.02), Emotional Control (p=.0001), and Shift (p=.001). In addition, PBD had worse scores than ADHD on the Planning (p=.03) and Monitoring (p=.01) subscales, but not on Working Memory (p=.17) and Organization (p=.08) sub-scales. Moreover, PBD had worse scores than ADHD on the Conners’ Oppositional subscale (p=.002). Also, they also did not differ on the CDRS scores, which suggests the presence of depressed mood in children with ADHD as well (p=0.147). However, as expected, the PBD group had significantly higher scores on the YMRS scale compared to the ADHD group (p=0.004).

Conclusion: The current results contribute new knowledge on similarities as well as differences in affect regulation between PBD and ADHD, which can inform etiology and intervention.

Since 2010 Greece has been in the midst of recession with clear financial and social consequences. Previous research (Wilkinson & Pickett, 2009) has demonstrated that the financial crisis is linked with increases in mental health difficulties, as well. In order to investigate this further, the current research had as aim to explore whether there are any specific demographics, disorders or symptomatology that are related to the financial crisis. Data were gathered from 215 clients (adults, adolescents, children, age 7-76) who received short term therapy (12-24 sessions) from Ψ-Diktyo, a low cost counselling service for financially disadvantaged people, during the period 2013 -2014. The results demonstrate

statistically significant (p<.05) gender differences with regards to the choice of counselling as a means of resolving emotional difficulties, and a predominant trend of anxiety and mood disorders/symptomatology as well as difficulties in forming and maintaining relationships with regards to the presenting problems.

Studies of the association among smoking, brain function and cognitive alterations have produced conflicting results. Aims Determine the neuropsychological impact of smoking. Materials and Method Selected from a population of 344 smokers, 28 healthy subjects aged 35-to-70 years were evaluated, after excluding those with systemic diseases (such as diabetes, COPD, high blood pressure, etc.), lower than high school education, and those undergoing neuro-pharmacological treatment. Eleven subjects who quit smoking over a 6-month period were re-evaluated. Sixteen never-smokers matched by age, gender and education were used as a control group. The Delis-Kaplan Executive Performance Test, consisting of nine sub-tests neuro-anatomically correlated with the frontal lobes, was used for the neuropsychological evaluation. Findings Significant differences were found in the baseline evaluation between controls and smokers on the working memory (p 0.015), verbal fluency (p 0.26) and inhibition (p 0.028). The results obtained between the two evaluations to the participants who stopped smoking indicate changes in deductive thinking (p 0.020), working memory (p 0.021) and planning (p 0.016). Conclusions Smokers without co-morbidities show alterations on executive functions tasks, most of which improve after a period of at least 6 months of abstinence from tobacco.

One of the issues in psychiatry which is often debated ; is whether the stress from having discordant family in childhood can contribute to/precipitate the development of psychosis in adulthood.

We present the case/example of a young female patient whose early life experiences of perceived abuse by parents have culminated into a paranoid disorder /personality and the a possible correlation between these . The patient developed symptoms of paranoid psychosis in early adulthood on the background of significantly unstable/discordant family dynamics and now has started waging a internet warfare against her parents .Psychobiosocial treatments have been making little inroads into her recovery .

This case supports/illustrates the possibility of a relationship between familial discord, with its inherent adverse impact on an individual’s sense of security; and the subsequent vulnerability of the individual to develop psychosis in the face of external stressors/challenges.

The universal Mandala model of Self (MMS) developed by the psychologist, Kwang-Kuo Hwang, describes the well-functioning self in various cultures. Given that conscience is part of well-functioning self, the MMS is suitable for constructing a Conscience Theory (CT). The main purpose of the present article is to develop the CT, with an aim to lead to its future research directions and accumulate empirical data. Drawing on the MMS, conscience is considered as conscience reflection and conscience action. We also discuss the purpose of conscience. Namely, where will the self guide an individual to? What common goals do we pursue? We propose that the end goal of the conscience is to attain ultimate wholeness in various cultures. Finally, the future research directions are provided.

The research studied the difference of male and female’s learning according to metaphorical expression. «Heavy-hearted» has a metaphorically negative connotation while «light-hearted» has metaphorically positive connotation. Also, females seemed to be more sensitive to linguistic discernment and the interpretation. With accordance to the finding, the difference of metaphorical expressions in learning (place, throw) between genders was examined. 93 participant learned Swahili- Korean word pairs. After the learning, one group was instructed to «throw» the studied paper to a box and another group was instructed to «place» the paper inside a box. Though they did the same action of putting the paper in the box, the metaphorical expression in language was differently used. As a result, there was no difference in proportion of recording between the conditioned words, «throw» and «place.» In addition, the males had no difference of proportion of recording in the two conditions but the females tended to remember more words in the «place» condition than the «throw» condition.

Background and aims: The advances of perinatal medicine enable the survival of infants in extreme prematurity. The mother’s posttraumatic reactions may be considered as a variable influencing the infant’s development. Similarly, living conditions of the infant-mother dyade during the first months following birth differentiate maternal stress and influence the process of infant bonding.

methods: The Perinatal Posstraumatic Stress Disorder Questionnaire evaluates posttraumatic maternal stress symptoms. The semi-structured clinical interview Clinical Interview for Parents of High-Risk Infants (CLIP) enables mothers to consolidate emotionally their experiences related to the infants’ high-risk status. The severity of the infant is evaluated through the Perinatal Risk Inventory.

Results: A number of studies suggest that there is a correlation between the results stemming from the following instruments: a. Perinatal Risk Inventory; and b. the Perinatal Posstraumatic Stress Disorder Questionnaire. The CLIP has utility both for planning psychosocial care in the intensive care nursery, and for discharge preparation.

Conclusions: The findings suggest that maternal response to premature birth mediates the risks of later adverse outcomes. Preventive intervention should be promoted. This study may help care teams, midwifes, obstetricians, neonatologists and nurses in their work in Neonatology Units.

methods: Forty individuals at UHR for psychosis, 24 patients with first-episode schizophrenia and 46 normal controls performed a facial emotion recognition task, neurocognitive tests and schizotypy scales. Emotional task performance indexed by total hit rate and attribution rate of specific emotions to neutral faces. The correlation of total hit rate with neurocognitive tests and schizotypy scales were analyzed within each clinical group.

Results: A recognition deficit of facial emotions was present in both clinical groups. This emotional deficit showed few significant relationships with broad range of neurocognitive measures. Meanwhile, this deficit demonstrated significant relationships with schizotypy. First-episode schizophrenia patients were found to be less likely to attribute sadness to neutral faces than were normal controls and ultra-high risk group.

Discussion: Facial emotion recognition deficit may not only be present in first-episode psychotic patients, but may already have evolved prior to the onset of overt psychotic symptoms. This emotion recognition deficit may be linked to a perceptual aberration and largely independent of broad range of neurocognitive dysfunction.

introduction and aims: The tendency to remember general categories of events instead of specific details (over general memory - OGM) is associated with the diagnosis and progression of depression in a number of populations. However studies of OGM and depression within intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors have produced conflicting results. We hypothesized that psychological IPV in the form of coercive control would predict OGM and depression and would mediate the relationship between the two. Ninety-five individuals, drawn from clinical and general samples, completed self-report measures for OGM, coercive control experiences and depression. Data on previous traumatic experiences was also collected. A mediation analysis was employed to analyse the data.

Results: Specific acts of coercion (power, isolation, threats, controlling behaviour) and surveillance (checking if partner is complying with demands) significantly predicted OGM and depression levels. Extent of coercive control fully meditated the relationship between OGM and depression. Previous traumatic experiences predicted OGM and the number of coercive acts the participants reported.

Discussion: Coercive control within relationships is damaging to cognition and is associated with depression symptoms. Research and treatment with IPV survivors should consider the type of abuse the victim experienced as well as the extent. Previous trauma may act as a vulnerability factor for OGM and experiencing coercive control in intimate relationships.
