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 (
t
= 0.23,
P
> 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
t
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 (
t
= 3.25,
P
< 0.002) and visuospatial WM (
t
= 3.04,
P
< 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).
