which can cause significant skin damage. Research has evidenced

a Focused SP subtype, typically occurring in response to negative

emotions, anAutomatic subtype, occurringwithout awareness dur-

ing activities not related to the picking behavior, and a Mixed one.

Mindfulness skills have been studied as a protective factor involved

in the treatment of several psychiatric disorders. Studying Mind-

fulness deficits in SP might help to identify interventions tailored

for specific subtypes of SP behaviours.

Objectives

The current study examined the relationship between

Mindfulness skills and pathological SP behaviours.

Aims

The study aimed to investigate whether Mindfulness skills

deficits uniquely predicted SP subtypes behaviours after controlling

for general distress in a community sample.

Methods

Ninety-seven community individuals (mean

age = 39.71, SD = 16.37, 59% females) completed measures of SP,

Mindfulness skills and general distress (anxiety and depression).

Results

Lower Mindfulness skills of Describing Internal Experi-

ences (B =

0.12,

P

< 0.05) and higher anxiety (B = 0.08,

P

< 0.05)

predicted more severe Automatic SP. Lower Mindfulness skills of

Non-judging Inner Experiences (B =

0.12,

P

< 0.05), higher anxiety

(B =

0.12,

P

< 0.05) and higher depression (B =

0.12,

P

< 0.05) pre-

dicted more severe Mixed SP. Focused SP was not associated to

Mindfulness skills and general distress.

Conclusions

Mindfulness skills deficits could be associated to

Automatic and Mixed but not Focused SP. Future studies should

investigate whether Mindfulness programs are effective for indi-

viduals reporting Automatic or Mixed SP behaviours.

Different studies have identified specific clinical characteristics of

patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in comorbidity

with schizotypal personality disorder (SPD), although no perspec-

tive evaluations of prognosis and response to treatment have been

conducted so far. The aims of the present study were to evaluate:

(1) the clinical and demographic correlates of OCD patients with

comorbid SPD (OCD-SPD) using standardized instruments; (2) the

response of OCD-SPD patients to long-term naturalistic pharmaco-

logical treatment. Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics

of patients with OCD-SPD were compared to patients with “pure

OCD”. OCD-SPD patients were characterized by a greater sever-

ity of obsessive-compulsive symptomatology, earlier age at onset,

a higher rate of schizophrenia spectrum disorders in their first-

degree relatives and a poorer insight. During the observational

period, OCD-SPD patients were less likely to achieve remission of

their symptomatology and required a greater number of trials with

different antipsychotic drugs or receivedmore frequently augmen-

tationwith antipsychotics. Our findings suggested that comorbidity

with SPD is correlated to a poor treatment response in OCD patients

and a reduced likelihood to recover fromOCD symptoms, following

standard pharmacological treatments. Further research is needed

to identify alternative strategies for the management of this cohort

of patients.

Purpose

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental dis-

order characterized by obsessions and/or compulsions. Although

some epidemiological studies take part in literature, which claim

that traumatic life events in childhood ages are observed more in

patients with OCD compared to healthy population, the number of

these studies is limited. In this study, it is aimed to compare OCD

patients with healthy volunteers in terms of traumatic life events

in childhood ages.

Method

With 25 consecutive patients who are diagnosed as OCD

and whose treatment continues, 25 healthy controls equivalent

in terms of sociodemographic features are included in the study.

Sociodemographic Data Form, Childhood Age Trauma Quarter

(CTQ) and Maudley Obsessive Compulsive Question List (MOCQL)

are applied to the participants. Significance Value in statistical level

is accepted as

P

< 0.05.

Findings

In OCD patient group, CTQ scores are found high in sta-

tistical level compared to healthy controls. It has been determined

that there is a significant relationship between total score ofMOCQL

slowness subscale scores, subscale scores of sexual and emotional

abuse, MOCQL rumination subscale scores and CTQ sexual abuse

scores.

Result

Compared to healthy controls, more findings of traumatic

life event in childhood age are observed within OCD patients.

Introduction

Psycho-Oncology (PO) is a specific psychiatric

approach to cancer patients. The main psychiatric disorders

observed are delirium and adjustment disorders (AD) and the most

frequent treatments used are pharmacologic and psychotherapeu-

tic.

With regard to the type of cancer, the most frequent in Portugal are

breast, digestive and prostate.
