The prevalence of personality disorders presented an exponential

increase in recent decades. However, the increase is due to the

advance of psychopathological clinical criteria as well as progress

by neuroscientists began to reveal certain aspects and symptom

dimensions. To these are added advances in psychopharmacologi-

cal and psychotherapeutic techniques that have allowed outlining

treatment strategies based on evidence reported. From clinical care

practice, the various actors within the Mental Health experience a

change in demand and the interrelationships of these pictures with

psychopathological constructs defined by psychiatry, which put on

view updating and sharpness of the professionals in the detection

and management of these patients. We cannot ignore the decisive

influence of cultural aspects in both the detection and diagnosis

and course of these attentive to a dynamic society disorders. These

entities have psychodynamic psychopathology andneurobiological

bases in constant revision. We propose in this paper an update on

the current clinical approach and treatment modalities of person-

ality disorders and psychopathy, focusing on the biopsychosocial

rehabilitation of patients and their psychopathology association

with criminal behavior, as well as an updating etiology, clinical and

therapeutic foundations of personality disorders and psychopathy

in view of a changing culture.

Verbal and visual-spatial working

memory performance in Arabic

monolingual and English/Arabic

bilingual Kuwaiti children

Introduction

Research in psycholinguistics focusing on cognitive

processing in bilinguals and the role played by working memory

about cognitive processing indicated that Working Memory (WM)

was instrumental in cognitive processing in bilinguals, but that

its role was different and generally more complex than it was in

monolinguals. However, the specific manner in which the use of

WM differed between monolinguals and bilinguals was not always

clear.

Objectives

This research explored the verbal and visual-spatial

WM performance in an Arabic monolingual group and a bilingual

English/Arabic group.

Methods

The participants were 396 Kuwaiti (198 monolingual

aged 7.99

1.97 years and 198 bilingual aged 8.03

1.92) with

no significant age differences (

= 0.23,

> 0.05). The two groups

were compared on how they performed in the AutomatedWorking

Memory Assessment (AWMA), to measure a verbal and visual-

spatial WM tasks. The tasks were Listening Recall, Counting Recall,

Mr. X, Backward Digit Recall, Odd-one-out and Spatial Span. All

tasks were internally consistent (Alpha = 0.91, 0.93, 0.87, 0.88, 0.87,

and 0.91 respectively). The data was analyzed using Independent

Sample

Test.

Results

The findings showed that there was significant group dif-

ference as themonolingual Arabic group (L1) performed better than

bilingual English/Arabic group (L2) on both of verbal WM (

= 3.25,

< 0.002) and visuospatial WM (

= 3.04,

< 0.002).

Conclusion

The monolingual children obtained higher scores on

both verbal and visuospatial WM. These findings were explained in

terms of the complexity of the Arabic language and cultural con-

text in which the second language is being practiced. This warrants

further investigation.

Introduction

Today cognitive impairment study epilepsy in chil-

dren and in people taking anticonvulsants. Unfortunately, we do

not know enough about neuropsychological features of mild cog-

nitive impairment in epilepsy, clinical and pathogenetic patterns

of their development, role in the development of social exclusion.

Aim

To study the mild cognitive impairment and their

relationship with clinical features of epileptic disease forms, socio-

psychological characteristics of patients.

Methods

Clinical-psychopathological, psychodiagnostic.

Results

We first used Addenbrooke’s cognitive examination

(ACE-R) in patients with epilepsy to quantify cognitive disorders

in this group. The specified scale detects violations of cognitive

function to mild dementia and allows us to differentiate the preva-

lence of certain disorders of mental processes. We revealed that the

reducing the effectiveness of stress overcoming behavior through

cognitive disorders in thinking and attention are one of the pathog-

nomonic psychogenicmechanisms of affective disorders inpatients

with epilepsy. The complex of individual therapeutic measures for

patients with epilepsy and MCI is based on the study features

of cognitive disorders results. Psychotherapy and psychological

correction measures for patients with epilepsy and MCI have to

improve the social functioning and quality of life. We also cre-

ated recommendations for the prevention of cognitive disorders

in patients with epilepsy.

Conclusions

The features of cognitive disorders in patients with

epilepsy, depending on the clinical form of epilepsy (symptomatic,

idiopathic, cryptogenic). It should be used as additional differen-

tial diagnostic criteria forms of epilepsy (symptomatic, idiopathic,

cryptogenic).
